All you need to know about potential 4th round opponents Southampton

Manager

As well as many of their star players leaving, Southampton have also had a problem with their managers departing for other clubs too. Ronald Koeman, who was a fan favourite at St. Mary’s, left the club for the vacant position at Everton, whilst Mauricio Pochettino also left the club suddenly, for a switch at Tottenham.

The Saints are now managed by Claude Puel, after the Frenchman left Nice for a challenge in England. Puel has a 36% win record in all competitions with his new team, in thirty games.

The Frenchman, who’s biggest impact has been the signing of Sofiane Boufal, a tricky winger, for a club-record fee of £16m, worked under Arsene Wenger as a player during his time at Monaco.
