Southampton Football Club has this morning appointed Mauricio Pochettino as First Team Manager, having relieved Nigel Adkins of his managerial duties. Forty year old Pochettino has earned a reputation as one of the most talented young coaches in European football thanks to an impressive spell in La Liga with Espanyol. The Argentine was widely linked with a future role at one of Spain’s top clubs, but having left Espanyol in November now joins Southampton to continue his top-flight managerial career. Pochettino will take charge of training on Saturday ahead of his first game as Southampton First Team Manager on Monday evening (21st December) against Everton in the Barclays Premier League. The Club would like to thank Nigel Adkins for his service over the past three seasons, and wish him well for the future. Executive Chairman, Nicola Cortese said: “This decision has been made with the long-term ambitions of Southampton Football Club in mind. Whilst we acknowledge the contribution Nigel has made during the past two years, for the Club to progress and achieve our long-term targets a change was needed. “Mauricio is a well-respected coach of substantial quality who has gained a reputation as an astute tactician and excellent man manager. I have every confidence that he will inspire our talented squad of players to perform at the highest possible level. “He also shares my belief that the most successful clubs are built by nurturing young players through a development system that provides a clear path to the First Team, thereby creating a culture that keeps them at the Club for the long term. This is an approach he has employed with great success in the past and I look forward to him bringing that experience and expertise to Southampton.” Southampton First Team Manager, Mauricio Pochettino added: “This is the kind of opportunity that any coach would relish. Southampton is a club with great heritage, and an even more exciting future. There is a clear vision to take the Club to a new era of sustained success in the Premier League, and beyond, which I’m delighted to be part of.”

This site is getting slower by the second!!

Holy ****

Told ya

good manager

hope he starts vs Everton

Watch the final 23 minutes again and come back here and say he did "alright"

Included Guly only because some fans still arent convinced - i personally think he has beed excellent last 2 months and best player on the pitch 1st half yesterday.

Good to see him back last night - thought he looked class and helped win the point If Chaplow can come back and make a massive impact, maybe there is still hope for Lee, Forte, Martin, Dickson, Fox, Richardson, Seabourne, Butterfield, Mayuka, SDR, Forecast, Barnard, Guly, Hammond or Sharp?

get off Gulys back ffs he was our best player last night (1st half) & hes been superb since his return

Everyone said same about Loverpool away!!

Our best performance this season was Newcastle at home.......... Says it all

5 more wins and we could be safe

Guly has been our best player last 2 months

He has been our best player last 6/10 weeks - was superb again last night. How many strikers go a year+ without a goal but still remain confident? Give him credit for that at least

Is this better than QPRs result? I know they won, but we came from 2 down?
