5 possible managers to take over at Southampton in the summer

Newcastle United v Southampton - Premier League
Former Southampton manager, Mauricio Pellegrino

#4 Eddie Howe

AFC Bournemouth v Sunderland - Premier League
Eddie Howe

Howe has been exceptional in his second stint as a Bournemouth manager guiding them to both the Championship and Premier League promotions. The Englishman has managed to keep the Cherries in the Premier League - the most competitive league in the world for two consecutive seasons with a minimal budget at his disposal.

His team is on course to extend its stay in the league as they sit 10th in the table with 7 matches left.

He has overseen high profile victories against some of the league's better sides. This season, he has guided the Cherries to impressive victories over Chelsea and Arsenal. Howe's Bournemouth side play an attractive high pressing football based on keeping possession and high pressing.

With world class attackers like Dusan Tadic, Sofiane Boufal, Nathan Redmond, Guido Carrilo and Manolo Gabiadini available at Southampton's ranks, they present more options for Howe's tactical mobility in the final third and kill games with ease.

At 40 years, Howe's management skills will only be better as he spends more time as a coach hence he can guide Southampton to a whole new level.
