FAQ
Southampton Next Manager Betting FAQs
Who Is the Longest Serving Manager Of Southampton
The legendary Ted Bates managed the club between 1955 and 1973. He then moved upstairs as a director and then president. He was Mr Southampton and was the architect of their current status
A new statue of Bates was unveiled at St Mary's in 2008.
How Long Was Laurie McMenemy At The Club
He succeeded Ted Bates and was at Southampton for 12 years.
His time at the club included the memorable FA Cup Final win over Manchester United in 1976.
Who Was The First Southampton Manager
Records of Cecil Knight between 1892 and 1895 show he won 15 of his 25 matches.
Which Southampton Manager Had The Worst Win Percentage
Of the permanent Saints Managers, Steve Wigley, who had been caretaker boss previously, was appointed in August 2004. He only won 3 of his 17 games (17.65%) and was gone before Christmas. Mark Hughes (March 2018 - December 2018) only did slightly better winning just 5 of 27 games for a percentage win rate of 18.5%
Which Southampton Manager Had The Best Win Percentage
Alfred McMinn (1896-1897) won 19 of his 27 matches for a win percentage of just over 70%. In more recent times the winning most percentage was achieved by Nigel Adkins(2010-2013) with him winning 54 % of matches whilst in the Saints dugout.
What Traits Will The Next Southampton Manager Need
The owners who acquired a controlling stake in Southampton FC in January 2022 will be under pressure to get their next appointment right after some false dawns with Nathan Jones and Reuben Telles. They may need to find a manager who has previously achieved promotion. (Nathan Jones may have been ideal for a relegated club?) With games every 3 or 4 days in the SkyBet Championship, you need a manager who has experienced this level of intensity. You must also have a squad deep enough to be unaffected by the inevitable injuries that this punishing schedule will induce. The new manager will need the tactics and man-management skills to handle the current Southampton players who may not wish to be plying their trade in a lower league, and he will need to identify and recruit younger players who can "add something" to the established team. Finally, at times he may need a thick skin to placate the fans immediate expectations of bouncing straight back into the EPL.
