Talks between Jesse Marsch and Southampton over the former Leeds boss becoming their new manager have broken down.
It was the final detail of contract duration that was the key stumbling block as well as Marsch’s feeling that the Southampton project was not quite right for him at this time.
Marsch met with the owners in Southampton and after negotiations that went on for several hours, both parties agreed to walk away.
Marsch had been on the verge of becoming the new Southampton boss just a week after being sacked by Leeds. He left with the club only above the relegation zone on goal difference following a seven-game winless run in the league.
He had been keen on a return to management and was excited by the Southampton project, despite the club sitting bottom of the Premier League, four points from safety.
Southampton dismissed Nathan Jones on Sunday with the former Luton boss having only taken over from Ralph Hasenhuttl in November, shortly before the league paused for the Qatar World Cup.
First-team lead coach Ruben Selles, has been taking charge of training and is preparing the team ahead of Saturday’s fixture at Chelsea.
Marsch struggled to win over Leeds fans. A section of Leeds United supporters were never really convinced by Jesse Marsch. People at Leeds supported Marsch, but there were some people at the top of the club who felt as if they had to bring someone else in or there was a real danger they could slide into the Championship.
