Could Rohl be front-runner to replace Juric?

The decision to dismiss manager Ivan Juric was very much driven by Southampton, rather than the Croatian opting to walk away from the club.
In a statement, the Saints admitted a need to "restore a sense of pride" in a season during which they were relegated with seven games to go, becoming the earliest side to suffer that fate in the Premier League era.
Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl will be considered the front-runner to get the job, having been considered for the post on two previous occasions.
The statement also reveals the importance of new group technical director Johannes Spors, who will guide the replacement process.
The German has a relationship with Rohl from their time working together at Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.
