Mark Wotte

Wotte played for Sportclub Enschede and FC Twente Academy, The Netherlands U.17's, and 1st Team Football for Feyenoord, FC Vlaardingen, FC Den Haag and SVV in his native Netherlands. Injuries ended his career in 1986.

In 1996, Wotte was named manager of ADO Den Haag, where he stayed for two seasons, before signing for Utrecht (1997–2000). He later worked for Den Bosch, Willem II, the Royal Dutch Football Association, Feyenoord (technical director), and Ismaily in Egypt. He left Ismaily on 16 December 2006 due to family reasons, to return to the Netherlands to coach RKC Waalwijk before moving to Qatar to manage Al Ahli.

He was appointed manager on 23 January 2009, replacing Jan Poortvliet. Southampton drew 2–2 against Norwich City in his first game in charge. Defeats against Sheffield United and Bristol City left the Saints in relegation trouble.

Unable to steer them to safety, Southampton were relegated to League One, where they would start with the 10 point deduction at the start of the following season. Wotte left the club after it was taken over by Markus Liebherr in the summer of 2009.
