Southampton miss out on Murat Yakin

Southampton's quest to find a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino has suffered a major setback after Murat Yakin, believed my many bookmakers to have been the first option for the Saints, appeared set to move to Spartak Moscow.

Former Swiss international Murat Yakin had been linked with the vacant Southampton job for over a week and now looks set to move to Russia instead.

Ronald Koeman remains amongst the names linked with the job, whilst Steve McClaren and Michael Laudrup have also been mentioned as possible candidates. Even former Manchester United coach David Moyes is believed to have been in the running.
