Former USA international Alexi Lalas has backed Jesse Marsch to take the Southampton job and keep the Saints in the Premier League after he was sacked by Leeds United last week.
Southampton have been heavily linked with the American, just days after he was relieved of his duties at Elland Road, having sacked their own manager Nathan Jones after just 14 matches in charge.
Marsch spent just under a year at Leeds before he was shown the door following an awful stretch which saw them take just two wins in his last 17 matches with the club.
