Southampton eye Rodgers as potential Hughes replacement

Southampton are eyeing up Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers as a potential replacement for Mark Hughes.

According to The Mirror, Rodgers and Peter Bosz are the two frontrunners to take over from the Welshman.

The Saints lost 3-2 away to Fulham at the weekend, which leaves them on one Premier League win for the season.

The report claims that Southampton are prepared to axe Hughes if they feel they need to, after waiting too long to sack Mauricio Pellegrino last season.

Rodgers has been a success at Celtic, winning the title in every season he has been with the Scottish giants.

Peter Bosz, meanwhile, is out of a job since he left Borussia Dortmund during last season.

Former Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim has also been touted, but Rodgers and Bosz appear to be the favourites.
