Southampton interim boss Tonda Eckert is expected to remain in charge of the club on an interim basis for the time being.
Despite reports the German was going to be made Will Still’s permanent replacement, it is more likely he will continue in his current role.
Prior to the international break, Eckert, 32, won both of his matches as interim boss, beating QPR and Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.
“What I do think is that after two wins he has a shout,” BBC Radio Solent’s sport editor Adam Blackmore posted on X, external.
“But it more than likely could depend on the next three-game batch after the international break for which he could well still be in interim charge.
“Saints have spoken to candidates but they can afford to be patient with Eckert’s good start and it allows them time to see the market develop so it’s highly unlikely anything imminent occurs either way.”
After the international break, Southampton have three games in the space of a week as they travel away to Charlton and Millwall either side of welcoming Leicester City to St Mary’s.
