LONDON (Reuters) - Former RB Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuettl emerged as odds-on favourite to fill Mark Hughes' shoes at Southampton after the Premier League strugglers sacked their manager on Monday with the club mired in the relegation zone.

Several media in Austria and Germany later reported that Hasenhuettl had agreed in principle to a deal with the south-coast club and would be presented in the coming days.
