Odds Tumble On A Spanish Replacement For Mark Hughes

A new name has entered the hat in the eyes of the bookies and he has now been installed as the favourite to be the next manager of Saints.

Quique Sanchez Flores former Watford manager and up until April the boss of Espanyol has come from nowhere to be the new favourite to take over from Mark Hughes as Saints boss.

The odds on Paulo Sousa have gone back up to 10/1 and you can get better prices on virtually all the contenders than you could only a few hours ago.

Someone somewhere has tipped off somebody and a flurry of bets has gone on the Spaniard.

The 53 year old has a good track record in Spain where he as managed Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Espanyol whom he spent two seasons with up until April of this year.

He also managed Benfica in Portugal as well as a season with Watford who in 2015/16 after replacing Slaviša Jokanović who had taken the Hornets back to the Premier League, his one season saw him steer them to a comfortable position in mid table as well as an FA Cup semi final.

He has the experience on both the continent and crucially that season in England and it seems that as far as the bookies are concerned this is a deal that could be done quickly.
