The former Watford manager is in contention to replace Mark Hughes at Southampton, according to one bookmaker.
The former Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has been cut to 5/1 with one bookmaker to become the next manager of Southampton.
Flores is now third favourite with Paddy Power - behind the Birmingham City boss Garry Monk (15/8) and the out-of-work Leonardo Jardim (11/4) - after leapfrogging David Moyes (15/2), Sam Allardyce and Steve Bruce (both 10/1).
The Spaniard, who is himself without a club after leaving Espanyol at the end of last season, managed Watford to 13th in the Premier League in 2015-16.
Pressure is mounting on Mark Hughes, with the Southampton boss having overseen a run of seven games without a win in all competitions.
And Flores, who has also managed Valencia, Benfica and Atletico Madrid before moving to Watford, could be an attractive option for the Saints.
Southampton fans - would you welcome the former Watford boss as the club's next manager?
