With the Saints struggling in the Premier League, the next Southampton manager odds market is getting a lot of attention at the moment as the pressure continues to build on current boss Russell Martin.
Who Will Be The Next Southampton Manager? Former Player Graham Potter Could Return
The best football betting sites in the UK and the SportsCasting odds team are suggesting that former player Graham Potter is a live contender in the next Southampton manager market.
Potter, who seems to get linked with most clubs at present, has been on the sidelines since parting ways with Chelsea back in April 2023, but with his links as a player to Southampton – could a return to St Mary’s be on the cards?
Okay, Graham Potter made just eight appearances for the Saints back in 1996-97, so is far from a club legend. However, on a plus, we know the former Brighton man loves a seaside club.
With Potter also a free agent then, should the Southampton sack Russell Martin, the Saints would have no issues landing Potter, who had also been linked with the England job when Gareth Southgate left after the Euros.
Southampton are currently bottom of the Premier League after 11 games. Having recorded just one win and a draw, but nine defeats.
West Brom Manager Carlos Corberán The Favourite To Take Over at Southampton
WBA are doing well in the Championship at the moment and when any side is out-performing in the English second tier, their managers are always on the radar of the Premier League teams.
West Brom boss Carlos Corberán has been at the helm at the Midlands club since 2022 and prior to that picks up experience managing Olympiacos in Greece, Huddersfield and was also in charge of the Leeds U23’s for three years between 2017-20.
As a result, the Spanish manager has been installed as the favourite in the next Southampton manager odds market. With many feeling the 41 year-old is now ready to take the leap to the English top-flight.

Other Next Southampton Manager Contenders Include Ruud van Nistelrooy and Liam Manning
According to the best betting sites in the UK recent Manchester United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has thrown his hat into these sorts of markets now – having done a good job with the Red Devils in his short time as leader.
Van Nistelrooy guided United to wins in Europe over PAOK Salonika and in the league against Leicester. While even though he could stay on as Ruben Amorim’s sidekick at Old Trafford, there are talks of the former striker going out on his own now.
Another Championship manager being muted as the next Southampton manager is Bristol City boss Ian Manning.
Manning, who also played for both Ipswich and Norwich, was snapped up by Bristol City from Oxford in November 2023 – while he’s also worked at West Ham’s academy and is said to have been involved in the progression of Arsenal and England midfielder Declan Rice.
Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton, reacted to our ‘Next Southampton Manager Odds’ saying:
“With the pressure mounting on Saints boss Russell Martin, there are many names being rumoured to take his place should Southampton decide to sack their man.
“It’s not hard to see why two Championship names – Liam Manning and Carlos Corberán – are in the running, but you feel these would be a gamble again for the Saints and they are more in need of a ‘quick-win’ to keep their Premier League status.
“Therefore, the more experienced Graham Potter, looks decent value at 7/1. It’s just if he’s waiting in the wings for a bigger club – sorry Saints fans.
