#5 Andre Villas-Boas
Trending
Fresh from a successful stint at Zenit-St.Petersburg in Russia, Andre Villas-Boas might just consider Southampton to be his next target owing to his desire to prove a point in the Premier League. Following campaigns at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, AVB was sacked from both clubs and could find his way back next season. He might not fit Southampton’s manager criteria entirely, but he might just be considered.
Manager- Club match rating: 2/5
Southampton are a club who play football on the deck and pleasing to the eye. Villas-Boas prefers his team to sit back and his approach to the game is generally pragmatic. Fans might not be the most thrilled bunch if he moves there, but consistent results could sway their opinion. Southampton will also be hopeful that Villas-Boas attracts quality players if he does move there, especially since they are in the Europa League.
Rumour rating: 1.5/5:
Villas-Boas back in the Premier League is not a sight a lot of Blues and Spurs fans would enjoy and Southampton too will be looking at options they deem are better. If nothing else works out, AVB might just find his way back into the Premier League, managing the team from the coast. However, there is still a lot of time left for the next season to start and the race for the next manager might just find a new candidate.
