Southampton owner Dragan Solak has thrown his full support behind head coach Tonda Eckert despite the club’s spying scandal.
Eckert admitted orchestrating the monitoring of rival Championship teams’ training sessions, a controversy that saw Southampton expelled from the promotion play-offs and handed a four-point deduction for next season.
But Solak says the 33-year-old German deserves a second chance.
“I think he’s a super-talented manager,” Solak told BBC Sport, insisting Eckert made a mistake rather than acted maliciously.
The Saints owner also warned Eckert to learn the EFL rulebook “by heart,” adding that another breach would not be tolerated. Meanwhile, the FA is still investigating and could yet impose further sanctions on the manager.
Chelsea secures Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe following her Arsenal departure. The 30-year-old signs until June 2029, with an option for an extra year.

Transfer targets also include a central midfielder, forward, and full-back, though financial considerations and potential player sales will shape their summer business.
