Southampton football chief Les Reed says they're close to naming their new manager.
Reed has revealed that the club expect to announce Mauricio Pochettino's successor sooner rather than later, and that they have identified a number-one target.
"We're closing in now on our preferred candidate, things are going well," he said, in an interview with the club.
"What takes time on these things is the paperwork, but I'm hoping that we can get that sorted very quickly and the fans will be excited about an announcement coming up sooner rather than later."
