Ruben Selles
The Spaniard oversaw another defeat in the Premier League as Brighton & Hove Albion powered past the St Mary’s side 3-1 at Amex Stadium on Sunday. Reports have said Swansea City boss Martin is expected to take over from Selles, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season. However, Selles – who does not want to stay at Saints as an assistant – claimed he did not know of any links to the former Scottish international and expects to be in the dugout again next weekend.
Ruben Selles said: “I don’t know anything. I didn’t read anything. I think I just get the question everywhere I go. It has not changed anything in my position or since we spoke on Friday. I have been respectful with the club and I have put all my knowledge into this to keep this team together and the club together. I expect that if something goes on like that, and it happens before the Liverpool game, that they will communicate it with me in the proper way. I didn’t know about it until Southampton’s press officer told me just before I speak with you. I know I’m going to stay here until the Liverpool game unless something changes. If something changes it’s not my decision. It’s been a hard week for us and I was focused on keeping the boys ready for today’s game. I’m not worried about my future. I know that my contract expires at the end of the season and what the club decides is up to them. I made my points known and I can’t control it.”
