Southampton boss Selles reveals wide-ranging experience

Ruben Selles has revealed he's taken charge of Southampton with a wide-range of football experience.

As well as taking him to a wide range of locations, Selles's football life has seen him adopt numerous roles across the fitness side, analysis departments, coaching and management.

“I think it just says that I was a person that didn't wait for the opportunity – just go and try to get it, and try to be as honest and direct as possible, and adapt himself to a different scenario, which I think is a very, very important quality in life," Selles said.

“Now when we are here talking, when I have a fantastic technical staff in Southampton, I know what is required to make every single activity they make, so I can demand exactly what I can demand from them, and I know how to not overload them. That is a big advantage for me.

“I know how much it takes you to analyse a football match and it is not something you can make from one hour to the other. I know how much it takes for you to prepare a training session, or a video session, or to analyse the game from a statistical point of view – I did almost every single job in football, so I understand and I can demand."
