Arron Sanders's most enjoyable period of football was under Mauricio Pochettino and he is hoping that our next Mauricio will be as exciting as under his fellow countryman.

With Argentine officially confirmed now as the clubs new Manager, us fans can start to look forward and get excited about the new season.

Pellegrino's appointment has really got me excited for next season, and the sky sports video of Spanish football expert Guillem Balague's opinion of him has filled me with optimism.

I never enjoyed watching Saints play as much as I did under fellow Argentine Pochettino, and to hear of Pellegrino being flexible and tactically paying real attention to detail before each game is exactly the sort of things I want to hear.

Adding this to the points made by Mauricio and Les Read about playing the attacking style of football we associate with 'The Southampton Way' I genuinely believe, we will see the return of the high pressing game combined with great defensive organisation and quick counter attacking style we loved to watch.

Off course attention now turns to finalising our pre season schedule as well off course, our activity in the transfer market with both incoming and inevitably outgoings.

It's great to see already the buzz the appointment of a new manager has given supporters on social media alone, I confident of a positive and successful season ahead for the club.
