Proven Manager
Southampton appointed manager Russell Martin as the new head coach in 2023 and he exceeded expectations by successfully achieving the Premier League promotion in his debut season at the St. Mary's Stadium. Thus, the Saints know that Martin is a proven manager in the Championship and could again guide the club to return to the English top flight if they get relegated.
Further, Martin is well-familiar with the strengths and abilities of this current squad, and can get the best out of these players towards the second half of the season. Moreover, Martin has made a name for himself at Southampton and can lead the Saints to make a comeback despite a struggling start to their Premier League campaign.
