Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to react after The Mirror (November 6, page 7 of pull-out) reported that Chris Coleman is on the Saints’ radar as a potential candidate to replace Ralph Hasenhuttl.
The former Wales and Sunderland manager has been out of a job since he was sacked by Chinese side Hebei China Fortune back in May, after just 11 months at the helm – the club’s supporters made banners calling for the 49-year-old to leave, after Hebei China Fortune had won just once in nine games before Coleman’s exit.
The pressure has been mounting on Southampton boss Hasenhuttl following the 9-0 defeat to Leicester at St Mary’s, and the south coast side are currently languishing in 18th place in the Premier League with just two wins in 11 games.
However, it doesn’t seem as if Coleman would be a popular appointment given the Southampton fans’ reactions to the news.
One supporter said that they wouldn’t set foot inside St Mary’s if Coleman replaced Hasenhuttl, whereas another said that they would “give up their season ticket” if the former Crystal Palace defender arrived on the south coast.
Let’s take a look at some more of the Twitter reaction…
