- Danny Rohl is 4/6 favourite with BetVictor to become the next permanent manager.

Saints Ending Season With Dignity But Still No Manager Confirmed
Southampton’s goalless draw against Manchester City may not have turned heads on paper, but it ensured the club avoided the ignominy of equalling Derby’s record-low 11-point Premier League finish.
Now attention turns to the off-pitch rebuild with UK Betting Sites giving odds on the next Southampton manager to lead them into the Championship next season.
According to BetVictor, Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl is the 4/6 favourite to take the role and reports suggest that the Saints are interested in the manager.
Those odds imply a 60% chance that Rohl will be the next Southampton manager with Gary O'Neil following tightly behind him in the current market.
| Next Southampton Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Danny Rohl | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Gary O’Neil | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Will Still | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Steven Gerrard | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Marti Cifuentes | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What the expert says...
Could Rohl Be the Right Fit?
Danny Rohl has earned plaudits at Sheffield Wednesday for his structured style and tactical maturity and is widely seen as a progressive choice.
His familiarity with Championship-level demands and player development makes him a strong candidate to lead the Saints’ rebuild.
Gary O’Neil is second in the market at 7/4 but it remains to be seen whether he’d consider dropping down to the Championship after previous Premier League roles.
Further out are Will Still (8/1), Steven Gerrard (10/1) and Marti Cifuentes (12/1) all of whom have been linked to various English jobs in the past year but appear unlikely based on current odds movement.
