Former West Ham and Everton managers Sam Allardyce and David Moyes are both in the running to replace Mark Hughes at Southampton.
According to a report from the Daily Mirror, both ex-Premier League bosses are under consideration for the job, with pressure mounting on Mark Hughes.
It has been suggested that Hughes could be out of a job by the end of the weekend if Southampton fail to beat Watford on Saturday.
The Saints have won just once in 11 games and look set for another battle against relegation.
Moyes has been out of work since leaving West Ham at the end of the season, while Allardyce’s last post was a mixed spell at Everton.
The former was largely credited with the way that he steadied the ship during a difficult period for West Ham, who themselves were struggling in the opening stages of last season.
Both managers have built up reputations for being ‘firefighter’ managers and would certainly be tasked with guiding the Saints away from the bottom three.
