"The coaching staff, my family and myself, in terms of the place and the people it was fantastic."
He added: "So for something to come along and make us leave, it had to be right."
Martin, who guided Swansea to 10th in the Championship in 2022-23, signed a three-year deal at St Mary's until 2026.
Four former Swans, including assistant manager Matt Gill, have joined him to make up the backroom staff.
"I'm a big believer in trusting my instincts and intuition on people and opportunities and it has served me right so far," Martin said.
"After all the conversations I had with the club, thinking about the playing squad that is already here, the facility, all of the club's history and traditions, it was all just really exciting.
"When we sat down as a coaching staff and put it all together we felt like coming here to Southampton was too good an opportunity to turn down."

Now that Martin has gone do you think Perchy is going to double down on Fisher as his primary hate figure this year or will Naughton make a comeback? [Post edited 6 Jul 2023 8:44]

Both, plus a few extras.
Also, wait until the first poor run and the manager will get it in the neck. |  | | |

It's fair comment and I can accept that .
That said, I often replied to what I saw as over love
It's my right to do so
It's a shame Dr Won posts perchy as we agree on much football wise
His posting on RM was hardly complimentary
I've said before we keep it tidy Whitey so let's keep it that wAy
I hate neither Naughton nor Fisher
Fact
Fisher is a poor keeperpreceived as do by most
Naughton is simply overated
WTF is there to bitch about and keep old scores burning
Winston is one I would love to meet again but won't |
Thank you for accepting my point, hopefully we can all move on. |  | | |
