Murat Yakin 2/1 to be the next Southampton manager this summer

Competition: Premier League
Market: Murat Yakin to be next Southampton manager
Odds: 2/1 @ William Hill

Following the departure of manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is now the Tottenham Hotspur head coach, Southampton are now looking for his replacement. Former FC Basel coach Murat Yakin is in the frame, with the 39-year-old having recently left his post at Basel.

“The outsider is Murat Yakin. He’s done a fantastic job at Basel and has recently left the club. Southampton’s owners are Swiss, he plays good football so he ticks all the boxes,” said talkSport press association reporter Simon Peach.

As a result, William are giving odds of 2-1 for Yakin to be the next manager of Southampton. He enjoyed success at Basel, twice-winning the Super League title in 2013 & 3014, while also wining the Uhren Cup.

Ronaldo Keoman, Michael Laudrup and Gus Poyet are some of the other names being thrown into the hat for the vacant Southampton job, but Yakin is currently the hot favourite.
