Wolves And Southampton: Who Will Take The Reins?
Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves) have sacked Gary O’Neil. Southampton FC have sacked Russell Martin. Now is the time to turn the ships around with new management. But who will be chosen?
Wolves have analysed a couple of top contenders, one of which being former striker and manager of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. At Manchester United, he reached one final and four semi-finals, an amazing achievement for a manager who only came in initially as a temporary cover. In addition, the Norweigan was also seen in the stands at the Molineux when Ipswich took a late lead to grab all three points last weekend. A possible sign that talks have already commenced.
Another possible choice is Al Shabab’s Victor Pereira. Holding nine titles and cups to his name across the past twelve years, a successful candidate with experience. However, yet to test his ability in the Premier League. Begging the question, would he be able to replicate his success in the ‘toughest league’ with a ‘struggling’ side?
Southampton FC have analysed Carlos Corberan as an excellent choice. Currently managing West Bromwich Albion, with other experience under Marco Bielsa as assistant coach at Leeds United and as head coach for Huddersfield and Olympiacos. Corberan also has experience working as manager of Leeds United under-23s and working within Villareal’s academies, possibly making him perfect for Southampton due to the need to use academy players because of their low transfer budget.
Moreover, another possible candidate is Danny Grohl. With experience as assistant coach under Ralph Hasenhuttl at Southampton, head coach at Sheffield Wednesday guiding them out of relegation and assistant coach at Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and even the German national team. Marking him as an extremely desirable coach for Southampton, due to his extensive experience and knowledge.
In addition, David Moyes has also been marked as the potential man for the job. With a successful stint at West Ham United cut abruptly, winning their first major European trophy since 1965. Which marked an astonishing shift from relegation battle to European football. Presenting Moyes as an amazing option for a ‘struggling’ side such as Southampton.
In conclusion, all of these candidates have a track record of progress and success, raising the question: who will be chosen?
