Ex-Roma boss Ivan Juric is expected to become Southampton’s new manager, talkSPORT understands.
Free agent Juric was on the Saints’ list to replace Ralph Hasenhuttl two years ago.
He was second choice to eventual successor Nathan Jones.
Southampton also sounded out West Brom boss Carlos Corberan and former Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand about succeeding the axed Russell Martin.
Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl was considered a frontrunner for the job but his £5million compensation fee became a stumbling block.
Corberan was also keen on the job but Saints were reluctant to meet his buyout clause – which is understood to be at least £2.5m.
Croatian manager Juric, who is in England today, has been out of work for just over a month.
He was sacked by Roma after just three months in charge after taking over from Daniele De Rossi.
Juric left Roma 20th in the Europa League table and only four points ahead of the relegation zone in Serie A.
He will have another relegation battle on his hands at St Mary’s, with Southampton currently bottom of the table and nine points from safety.
