Danny Rohl has emerged as an early contender to succeed Russell Martin as manager of Southampton.
The decision to sack Russell was made just 12 minutes after his final post-match press conference with the club bottom of the Premier League having acquired just five points in 16 matches.
Martin was sacked on Sunday following Southampton's 5-0 defeat against Tottenham.
The German has exceeded expectations since joining Wednesday in October last year for his first head coach role at a time when the Owls were sitting bottom of the Championship.
