Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has ambitious plans for the club this summer.

Not only does the Saints boss want to add players to help his team push up the table, but he also wants to adjust the backroom staff.

Southampton are giving the Austrian boss a very wide reign as he looks to reshape the club so they can avoid battling for relegation in future seasons.

Speaking about the changes he could make in the coming months, Hasenhuttl said to reporters: "Me as a manager wants to work with expertise in every part of the club.

"I came here and took the staff and wanted to work with them and we adapted to each other and I know what the strengths of everybody is and I want to put the guys into a position where they have the most quality and other areas with a lack of quality maybe we get new guys in.

"We want to invest in the infrastructure of the club and not only new players because as you see in the winter we try to go a different way and if you do so it keeps a bit longer the quality in the club than short term with a new player for example.

"Sure you can get better in this way from signings very good players, new players.

"The other thing we did so far was getting better with hard working and it should be a signal for the future that Southampton should be a hard working club and that means I have to have guys here inside that do 24-7 a week to make this club and these players better. This is what I want in the future.

"I have it in a lot of positions but I want more and that's what I want for the future."
