Ralph Hasenhuttl is expected to be named Southampton manager today.

The 51-year-old Austrian has agreed to take over at St Mary's following the sacking of Mark Hughes on Monday morning.

Saints have been locked in talks with Hasenhuttl since the dismissal of Hughes.

The parties have agreed terms and the club are set to confirm his as manager, with an announcement likely this morning after he has arrived in the country to formally sign a contract, reports the Daily Echo.

Kelvin Davis will still take charge of the game against Tottenham at Wembley with Hasenhuttl due to watch from the stands.

The former RB Leipzig boss will take over from then, holding his first training session with the squad on Thursday before facing the media.

There will be little time for Hasenhuttl to put his stamp on things before the crucial trip to Cardiff on Saturday.
