Former Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch is reportedly 'set to replace' Nathan Jones as Southampton manager.
According to the Athletic, Marsch is on the brink of becoming the new boss at the south coast club following Jones' dismissal last week. They report that the American held an initial round of talks with the Saints on Monday, where both parties discussed the length of a potential contract.
It is also thought that both Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard were considered for the position, with the south coast team eventually opting for the former Leeds man. Should Southampton confirm the appointment, it would see Marsch return to the Premier League just over a week after leaving his position at Elland Road.
