He will bring his brother and this fella :

Jan Kluitenberg
First Team Coach


Jan Kluitenberg joined the backroom staff at Southampton, having followed Ronald Koeman from his previous club Feyenoord.

Born in Apeldoorm, Kluitenberg’s playing career was cut short following a series of injuries, which quickened his move into coaching. After trying his hand at refereeing, managing to reach the C list of match officials in Holland, he started to work at Vitesse Arnhem’s academy.

After a period working as an operational manager, responsible for the club’s training ground and stadium, Kluitenberg’s next move was a big one, as he jetted off to join Koeman’s staff at Benfica in Portugal.

Spells at Al-Jazira in Saudi Arabia, Sparta Rotterdam, AZ – again with Koeman – and FC Twente helped to enhance his reputation before his switch to boyhood club Feyenoord in July 2013.

After just a single solitary season at De Kuip, however, Kluitenberg elected to leave Holland to take up the position of first team coach at St Mary’s, forming part of an all-new backroom staff at the club.

Erwin Koeman
First Team Assistant Manager


The brother of manager Ronald, Erwin Koeman was brought in to assist his younger sibling in the summer of 2014.

Koeman spent his entire playing career in Holland except for a five-year spell in Belgium with Mechelen, where he won a Belgian First Division title, a Belgian Cup, a UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and a UEFA Super Cup. He enjoyed two stints at both PSV Eindhoven and Groningen, winning two Eredivisie titles and a Dutch Super Cup.

At international level, Koeman amassed a total of 31 caps for his country, featuring alongside his brother in the Netherlands’ 1988 European Championship triumph and then again at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

His managerial career to date has seen him work mainly in his home country, firstly with RKC Waalwijk and Feyenoord, although he did have a spell in charge of the Hungarian national team between 2008 and 2010, before returning to club management in 2011 with Utrecht.

Koeman also spent time in the hotseat at Eindhoven and again at RKC Waalwijk, before becoming number two at St Mary’s to work alongside his brother for the first time in a management role.

Always good to see a bit of optimism in the ranks.

I do say that somewhat in jest, everyone is entitled to their view.

However, if, whoever it is, turns out crap Moshiri won't be as long as old luvvie Bill in sorting it out. We have to take a chance on someone, and the (realistic) pool wasn't that large to begin with. No matter who was picked it wasn't going to please everyone but try to give whoever it is a chance (unless it was Moyes obviously!).

It appears Koeman was our number one target (though if some feel that special targetting of him was mis-directed then that is another matter). But if Moshiri gets him at least it shows he means business and does have the capability to get what he wants.

I like Emery but maybe he was never serious in coming to us, no one knows the full background. I think the Monchi element would have been a major part of the deal. Its very easy saying lets go all out to get someone but maybe they (both) just didn't want to come or there was too many stumbling blocks.

Pellegrini never really interested me. I doubt the rumours of him possibly retiring from management if he didn't get any good job offers helped him either. It might have pointed to someone who was just filling in time. Thats not to say I'd be spitting feathers if we appointed him, each have their pros and cons.

De Boer seemed too desperate for the job, any job in the Premiership. Something which made us look elsewhere and it had previously put Spurs off.

Maybe a coach from a different country, a different background will be a good thing in this case, it will change things at least. We have to trust someone to do the job, only time will tell if Moshiri has got it right but at the end of the day, its his choice, his investment.

If it is Koeman, then he should be able to sort out our defence much better than his predecessor at least, thats one positive, and lets start from there.

As for Sammy Lee, I don't think our club nor himself would want it.

The thing is that Merseyside is yesterdays place. Regardless of the political attempts to stop it there is and has been a demographic shift from North to South and this is continuing. You only have to look at property prices to see where people want to live. South Hampshire general population now is roughly the same (or maybe even larger) as Merseyside in a slightly smaller area. Granted the area has to grow into its status in terms of facilities and self belief but it will happen. Given ten years the difference will be marked an in favour of South Hampshire.
