Gorman steps in for Saints

John Gorman has been installed as Southampton's temporary first-team coach after Glynn Snodin's decision to join West Ham.

Alan Curbishley called on his former coach at Charlton to link up with him once more at Upton Park, and Saints have moved quickly to bring in a replacement.

Gorman, formerly Glenn Hoddle's assistant with England and most recently Northampton manager, had already moved to St Mary's as chief scout in May.

He will now help with first team affairs until the Championship club bring in a new face to reinforce their coaching staff.

"We will have a look at things over the next few weeks and plan ahead, but nothing is sorted at the moment," Burley told the club's official website.

"We are fortunate to have John Gorman already on board and he will help out on that side and become more involved."
