Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is enjoying his experience in the Premier League.

Hasenhuttl became the first Austrian manager in the Premier League when he was appointed by the Saints in December to replace Mark Hughes, and he has helped the side improve dramatically.

"I enjoy it very much to work in the best league in the world," Hasenhuttl said. "It is a very important step in my development.

"I've got a club that gives me the chance to work with a fantastic group, a fantastic area, fantastic training ground and a team that is really open-minded and working very hard.

"I enjoy every day here and enjoy the games in our stadium in front of our supporters.

"It's an unbelievable atmosphere in the moment at the stadium. Everybody is following us and is in our boat and is rowing with us.

"And that is exactly what I want to have in this club, bringing everybody together and creating the energy we need to stay in the league."
