Southampton FC is undergoing a tumultuous period, with Will Still set to be sacked as manager and Tonda Eckert taking temporary charge. The team recently secured a much-needed win over QPR, and former player Oriol Romeu has returned to the club on a deal until the end of the season, signing a contract until June 2026. The club is searching for a new manager, with Gary O'Neil and Frank Lampard among the contenders.
