The dressing room of Leeds United’s next opponents Southampton has reportedly lost the trust and belief in manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. That is according to Mail Plus, who claim that several players in the Saints squad were shocked that he was not sacked over the summer.
Southampton picked up where they left off last season in their first game of the new campaign last weekend, losing 4-1 at Tottenham Hotspur with a series of calamitous defensive errors. Hasenhuttl’s side lost nine of their last 12 Premier League matches, plummeting from around the top 10, to 15 th in the table.
In that same time frame, they also conceded 30 goals and those defensive frailties do not appear to have been rectified if Saturday’s heavy defeat at Spurs is anything to go by. The Mail now claims that tension is increasing behind the scenes, with several of Hasenhuttl’s backroom staff having been changed over the summer.
