Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has lifted the lid on the club's 'play book' he has been working on.

As well as scouting potential transfer targets, the Austrian has been busy developing a coaching and playing style blueprint for the club's academy.

Speaking to the Daily Echo about the SFC Playbook, he said: “It's something of a literary for the whole club and all the teams because we want to implement our philosophy.

“With this playbook, we want to develop the coaches and the teams. It's a huge project.

“When I was in England we tried to work together with all the coaches and now in the last weeks, we have been trying to sort out the videos we need for this book.

“It's more about our philosophy and the four phases of our game: with the ball; against the ball; and playing and using the ball.

“We want to implement all the behaviours for every position with text, animation and video clips.

“We have more than enough video material and it takes a lot of time to select them."
