Ronald Koeman insisted he doesn’t fear for his future after a run of games without a win at Saints.

The manager is philosophical having been around football for a long time, and cited the sackings of Jose Mourinho and Garry Monk as evidence that nobody can ever feel safe.

Though there are no suggestions that Saints are contemplating a change, Koeman knows he needs to get the team winning again quickly, and is focussing solely on doing his job to the best of his abilities.

“Every manager is under the pressure,” he said.

“If you sack Mourinho, if you sacked Monk from Swansea, then we know.

“It’s all about the philosophy of the club, the philosophy of the chairman, the board of the club.

“It’s still quiet in Southampton but maybe in one month it can be different.

“We know if you are a long time in football what can happen and I’m not worried about that.

“If it happens, it happens.

“I do my job, I do my best for the club and do what I have to do and nothing else.”

It’s not just Koeman who is under pressure but the players too.

“It’s difficult for the players because we have the experience from last year how nice it can be,” said Koeman.

“We knew before it can be a difficult season but still it’s not too late.

“Of course we know and we need a win.

“It’s normal if you don’t win in the last five or six the best medicine is winning.

“You can keep positive, work hard, do good training sessions, but the final whistle makes a different world if you win or lose.”
