It's a three-way battle to replace Russell Martin in the next Southampton manager odds market.
After the embarrassing 5-0 defeat at home to Tottenham last weekend, Southampton finally took the decision to dismiss head coach Russell Martin, who left the Saints rock-bottom of the Premier League with just five points to their name.
Martin’s high-risk, possession-based style of football was largely effective for Southampton as they won promotion from the Championship last season, but has frequently played into the hands of the Premier League opposition they have faced this term.
The Saints are the only team in the division yet to have won multiple matches thus far, while their goal difference of minus 25 is at least nine goals worse than any other side.
Let's look at Martin's likeliest replacements according to the next Southampton manager odds - the original favourite is now locked in a three-way battle at the top of the market.

Who is the favourite to be the next Southampton manager?
The bookmakers are finding it hard to split Danny Rohl, Kasper Hjulmand and David Moyes as the favourite to replace Russell Martin as the next Southampton manager.
Moyes (9/2 bet365) restored his reputation at West Ham after unsuccessful spells with Man United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland. He saved the Hammers from relegation twice over two spells before securing three top nine finishes and a first trophy in 43 years - the Europa Conference League.
Early market leader Rohl (4/1 William Hill) is already well known to Saints supporters, having formed part of ex-manager Ralph Hasenhuttl’s backroom team, before leaving the club for a role with the German national team.
Hjulmand (9/2 various), meanwhile left the Denmark job after their Euros exit having won 32 of 54 matches in charge at a near 60% win rate and taken his country to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 (held a year late).
He has spent the bulk of his club managerial career with Nordsjælland, winning the 2011/12 Danish Superliga in the first of two spells with the club spanning more than six years.
Further down the market you find the likes of Graham Potter, Michael Carrick and Sergio Conceicao. Interestingly, those three and Hjulmand are all in the top five of the next West Ham manager odds (Edin Terzic the other) should the Hammers part ways with Julen Lopetegui.
