Ralph Hasenhüttl’s first match in charge of Southampton will be at Cardiff on Saturday.
Southampton have confirmed the appointment of Ralph Hasenhüttl as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal. The Austrian takes over from Mark Hughes, who was sacked on Monday.
Hasenhüttl will attend the match at Tottenham on Wednesday night but will officially take charge on Thursday and his first game will be at Cardiff on Saturday. The coach Kelvin Davis, who is in interim charge, will be his assistant.
Southampton strive for surer footing after calamitous loss of their step
The 52-year-old Hasenhüttl, a former Austria international, had been out of work after leaving RB Leipzig in May. His previous coaching jobs include a spell at Ingolstadt, whom he led to the Bundesliga for the first time.
Southampton’s chairman, Ralph Krueger, said: “As a coach, he embodies the passion, structure, communication skill set, work ethic and appetite for growth that we strive for in our Southampton Way … As soon as we met, Ralph’s enthusiasm for football was contagious and his hunger to take on a new and challenging job in the Premier League was evident.”
He added: “Ralph’s ability to teach the game and to develop talent is evident in his past and is a centrepiece of why he is the perfect choice.”
Southampton are in the Premier League’s relegation zone with one victory from 14 matches this season.

Biggest game of season if you ask me, could be dragged in or potentially 5 points clear of drop zone which is huge.

Massive game considering the rest of the games at the bottom

Brighton vs Burnley .. hopefully Brighton win
Palace away to the hammers hopefully hammers win
And Huddersfield away to arsenal so hard task there
We beat Southampton we put ourselves in a tidy position
