Sellés took over the team after the sacked Nathan Jones, whose management was sacked two weeks ago after the home defeat to Wolverhampton. He lasted only three months with the team. At the beginning of the season, the Austrian Ralph Hassenhüttl retired after four years due to poor results.
Sellés led the team in Saturday’s duel at Chelsea, which Southampton surprisingly won 1-0. For the Spanish coach, this is the first experience of coaching the A-team, in the past he worked as an assistant in the Greek, Danish or Azerbaijani leagues. He led Valencia’s youth team before joining Southampton in the summer.
The “Saints” are waiting for an important match on the field of the penultimate Leeds on Saturday. They lose three points to save the competition.
