Saints name Frenchman Puel as new manager
Print Edition
FORMER Nice coach Claude Puel has been named as Southampton manager on a three-year contract in succession to Ronald Koeman, the Premier League club said yesterday.
The 54-year-old Frenchman was also in charge at Monaco, Lille and Olympique Lyon, whom he led to the UEFA Champions league semifinals in 2010, but has never worked outside his native country. “It was an easy decision to make,” Puel told the club website (Saintsfc.co.uk). “I thought of all the possibilities at this club, the very good players, good persons.” Puel has a close relationship with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger under whom he played at Monaco. Puel will be joined at St Mary’s by former Aston Viilla caretaker manager Eric Black, who has been appointed assistant manager, and Frenchman Pascal Plancque who is assistant coach. Puel was chosen ahead of former Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini, who was also interviewed for the position. Koeman left Southampton, which has qualified for the Europa League group stages, to take over as Everton manager this month.
