Southampton consider Tedesco and Manchester City assistant manager Maresca to replace Hasenhuttl

Southampton are considering Domenico Tedesco and Manchester City assistant boss Enzo Maresca as possible candidates to replace Ralph Hasenhuttl if they sack the Austrian.

Hasenhuttl remains in charge of Southampton but his future at the club is uncertain with the Saints currently in 16th place in the Premier League. 

Former RB Leipzig manager Tedesco is one of the managers under consideration.

Maresca is currently the assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, where he is highly thought of and it is unlikely that the Premier League champions will let him leave at this stage of the season.

Having previously been the assistant boss at Ascoli and Sevilla, Maresca took up a similar position at West Ham in 2018.

Out of his 167 games in charge so far, Hasenhuttl has won 58, drawn 39 and lost 70.
