Southampton Said To Want Nottingham Forest Manager To Replace Hasenhuttl

According to media reports this morning Saints have identified the man they want to replace Ralph Hasenhuttl should they sack him in the next few weeks and it is a man already in a job with another Premier League club.

The Daily mail has run a story this morning that says that should Saints sack Ralph Hasenhuttl, then the man they are looking to replace him with is Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper.

Ironically Cooper himself is under fire at the City Ground despite leading Forest back to the Premier League for the first time in almost a quarter of a century.

That appears to count for nothing though and after 5 straight defeats, it seems his job is now on the line.

Two clubs said to be interested are Saints and also Wolverhampton Wanderers.

It seems that Saints are in no hurry though and Ralph's job appears after at least until after the weekend when he takes his side to Manchester City.

Forest don't play until Monday when they take on Aston Villa at home, defeat in that one could see Cooper relieved of his position, that would suit Saints who would then be able to target their man, if indeed he is their man, without the hassle of negotiating with another club and a compensation claim.
