Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier believes that Mark Hughes would be a "good appointment" for the struggling Premier League club.

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has claimed that Mark Hughes would be a "good appointment" for the struggling Premier League club.

The Saints parted company with Mauricio Pellegrino on Monday with the team just one point above the relegation zone with eight matches left to play.

Former Stoke City manager Hughes is believed to be the frontrunner for the Southampton job, and Le Tissier feels that the Welshman fits in with the club's vision.

"Mark has managed in this league for a long, long time, more than 400 games," the 49-year-old told Sky Sports News. "I think it is a pretty good appointment from my perspective.

"The situation we are in is not a great one and we don't need a manager coming in who doesn't know the players, doesn't know the league. So Mark would seem to be with the club's way of thinking."

Southampton return to Premier League action against West Ham United following the international break.
