#4 Quique Sanchez Flores
The Spaniard had one season in the Premier League with Watford and was popular with players, fans and the media alike. The former Valencia manager was also in the frame to take over from Mark Hughes when he was sacked last season while at Stoke.
The record Flores has with Watford does not really do him justice, securing safety early in the season 2015/16 his side struggled in the back end of that season with safety all but secured. His Watford team then played a high press style, got the ball down and played to their strengths and defensively played compact. At Espanyol, Flores had the same impact, early on establishing the club within the league but could not push on past an 11th place finish.
Without a club, Flores could be an extremely good fit for Southampton, his classy approach and the way he conducts himself would be similar to previous managers in the past, but he would certainly have a structure and tactics in place for this group of players. There should be no hesitation from the Southampton board if Flores name is in contention to take over from Hughes.
