Liverpool Transfer News Southampton’s search for a new manager has taken an interesting twist — with former Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana reportedly open to taking charge at his boyhood club. According to Sky Sports, Adam Lallana — who only retired from professional football at the end of last season — has shown interest in becoming Southampton’s next permanent manager.

He’s been assisting Eckert on the touchline, offering both experience and a deep understanding of the club’s culture. A Southampton spokesperson reportedly said: “Southampton are undergoing a thorough process to identify their next permanent head coach – led by sporting director Johannes Spors – but are not in a rush to make an appointment.” The club’s cautious stance seems to stem from Lallana’s lack of managerial experience.

With such pedigree, Lallana might just fancy adding “manager” to his football résumé — and Southampton could be the perfect place to start. If that happens, Lallana could soon be swapping his coaching bib for a full manager’s jacket — and perhaps leading the Saints’ charge back to the Premier League.
