Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino is confident of a positive relationship with new chairman Ralph Krueger.

Krueger was named chairman this week.

"Of course, it is always nice to hear someone has spoken nicely about someone, and I thank him for that," Pochettino said.

"It is clear that this club needs tranquillity after all the upheaval that happened at the beginning of January.

"There is two months left in the league competitions, a lot of changes this club is going through at this moment, and it is clear right now we need good words to move forwards in a calm and relaxed manner at this football club."
