HASENHUTTL LATEST ON SAINTS’ CONVEYOR BELT OF TALENT

WHEN Mark Hughes was sacked, Southampton were 18th and had nine points to their name. Now, under Ralph Hasenhuttl, they are one win away from that coveted 40-point mark and on the brink of maintaining their Premier League status. History shows how Southampton have a habit of finding talented managers, such as Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman. The same goes for players, too, with a good chunk of them being sold on to Liverpool like Sadio Mane, Virgil van Dijk and Adam Lallana. Also, we shouldn’t forget how good Dusan Tadic has been for Ajax this season either — with the Dutch club in the Champions League semi-finals. In manager Hasenhuttl it looks like they’ve unearthed another gem.
