Southampton are reportedly considering a former Manchester United coach among the options for their next manager.
The Saints are keen to start fresh after experiencing a torrid season back in the Premier League.
Russell Martin had got the club promoted from the Championship last season, and Southampton were prepared to keep confidence in him, despite the poor start to the season.
But in December, patience wore thin, and Martin was sacked and replaced by Croatian manager Ivan Juric.
Unfortunately for Juric, the league form under him was much of the same as it had been under Martin, the Saints winning just two from 16.
The former AS Roma manager left the club after Southampton’s relegation to the Championship was confirmed, with the club now assessing their options for next season.
And according to Sky Sports News, one of the options being considered at St Mary’s, is former Manchester United coach Eric Ramsay.
Ramsay joined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s staff at United in 2021, going on to work under Ralf Rangnick and Erik ten Hag until his departure last year.
He was hired as head coach by MLS club Minnesota United, becoming the youngest permanent head coach in MLS history.
The club made the MLS playoffs under Ramsay, ultimately reaching the Western Conference semi-final.
Sky Sports News reports that Ramsay is just one of several options being considered by Southampton, with the club aware of the importance of making the correct decision.
The 33-year-old is being monitored by a number of big clubs in England and Europe, with his fluency in French and Spanish seen as an impressive tool.
Ramsay coached at Loughborough University alongside fellow former Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna, who recently saw his Ipswich Town team also relegated to the Championship.
