Martin, Carrick, Hasenhuttl: Next Southampton manager odds

Still, 33, departed St Mary's just five months into his three-year contract having won only twice in 13 Championship outings so far this season.

Promotion-winner Martin, who was sacked by Saints just under a year ago after winning just one of 16 Premier League matches last campaign.

Incredibly, BetVictor have priced Martin, who has also been sacked by Rangers, at 1/1 to return to the club and become the new Saints manager.

Brendan Rodgers, Michael Carrick and former Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl are all priced next at 8/1, some way out from early frontrunner Martin.

Portsmouth academy graduate and former player Gary O'Neil and England under-21s boss Lee Carsley are next up at 10/1, illustrating slim pickings.

Saints technical director Johannes Spors is set to lead the search for Still's replacement. Here are the full odds for the next Saints manager...
