Ralph Hasenhuttl Planning At Least Another Three Years At Southampton

Ralph Hasenhuttl has been speaking to Sky Sports Austria about his intention to remain at St Mary's for the remainder of his contract, good news for Saints supporters who are finally seeing a manager at the club who looks beyond just the first team, but the whole set up.

When Ralph Hasenhuttl arrived at Saints in December 2018 he was a virtual unknown name to UK football fans, he had impressed in Germany with RB Leipzig, but most Saints supporters had to google him when he suddenly emerged as the chosen contender to replace Mark Hughes.

If he lasts to the summer will become the longest serving Saints manager since Chris Nicholl and it seems he intends to achieve that landmark.

"I’m planning another three years at Southampton because I still have a three-year contract,” he told Sky Sport Austria.

"At the moment, there are not many scenarios at the moment where I can imagine ending this.

"For me, the Premier League feels like a whole year in the Champions League.

"When you see our games, you play at Manchester City on a Wednesday evening — those are games some would be happy about.

"It’s a lot of fun as a manager because you can and must always assert yourself at the level.”

Good news for Saints fans, yes there have been blips along the way, but overall we are heading in the right direction and continue to do so with the Austrian looking at all aspects of the club and not just the first team.
