Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is happy to draw Vitesse Arnhem in their Europa League qualifier.

It is a particularly special tie for Koeman, as it was Vitesse where he gained his first job as a head coach, taking charge of them from January 2000 to December 2001.

“I make already a joke before the draw that I said maybe we will go back to Holland after our next week – what we go for the pre-season," he said in an interview with the club's YouTube channel.

"It's ok, it's a good draw. We play against a good team, at least a team who likes to play football and, ok, we will see what happens."
