Russell Martin is in line to become the new Southampton manager. Martin was due to fly to Washington DC to meet Swansea’s American owners on Thursday for talks over his future but has remained at home. Martin has one year on his contract.
Southampton, who were relegated from the Premier League last week, are expected to formalise a deal to make Martin their new manager next week. Swansea are awaiting a formal approach for Martin, who has developed a fine reputation there in the second tier after leaving MK Dons.
