Southampton braced for Ronald Koeman approach and Liverpool could be the benefactors

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is being lined up by Holland, according to reports

SOUTHAMPTON are expecting an approach from Holland for manager Ronald Koeman, according to reports.

 

Current boss Danny Blind is under huge pressure as they face the very real prospect of missing out on qualification for Euro 2016.

Failing to beat Czech Republic on Tuesday will seal their fate and Blind could pay with his job as a result.

 

Current Holland boss Danny Blind could be sacked if his side fail to qualify for Euro 2016

If Turkey beat group leaders Iceland, Holland's result becomes redundant and they will miss out regardless of a win.

The best they can hope for is a place in the play-offs at the expense of the Turks.

They can no longer qualify automatically.

The Daily Mail claim it will leave the Saints fighting to keep their manager by the end of this week.

Liverpool could be the benefactors in such a circumstance as the south coast club may be without a manger for their trip to Anfield on October 25.

Koeman has already stated his desire to manage his country but his current contract at St Mary's still has two years left to run.

Reports suggest the Dutchman is keen to stay but Saints officials fear the lure of the top job in Holland would be too good to pass up.
