Southampton owner Dragan Solak says he has no plans to dismiss head coach Tonda Eckert following the club’s involvement in the “Spygate” scandal. Multiple outlets report that Solak publicly backs Eckert despite acknowledging that the coach made a “mistake” by authorising what is described as a spying campaign against rival Championship clubs. The Athletic and BBC Sport report Solak communicates this position to supporters, including through a video message in which he says the club’s board is fully behind Eckert and believes he is the person to take Southampton forward. The Independent also reports Eckert is backed by the owner and that the coach issues an apology to fans. Across the coverage, the central point is that the owner’s decision is aimed at keeping managerial stability while the matter remains associated with Eckert’s authorisation of the alleged spying. No sources provided here indicate that any immediate sacking is planned, and the overall reporting focuses on the owner’s stated stance and Eckert’s response to the situation.
