Having been relieved of his duties at Elland Road last week, Marsch appeared to be on course for a quick return to management following Southampton’s decision to part ways with Nathan Jones after just three months with the Welshman in charge.

However, despite being the clear favorite to succeed Jones, Marsch’s proposed move to St Mary’s now looks unlikely, unless the American agrees to a short-term deal.
It has also been pointed out that temporary boss Ruben Selles will remain in charge for the Saints’ next game, which is scheduled to be an away tie against Chelsea on Saturday.
