Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has been named the Premier League's Manager of the Month following an unblemished run in January.

The Dutchman has been handed the award after the Saints secured victories in all three of their matches last month.

Wins over Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United kept Southampton in the fight for a top four place in the league table.

Koeman told Southampton's official YouTube channel: "It's a great feeling and it's a big compliment for the whole team. We are working hard to prepare the players for every game, that's the people on the technical staff.

"It's all the people around the technical staff too, the medical staff. We are doing that together. It's a reward for the manager but it's for the rest of the team as well."

This is the second time that Koeman has been given the title since joining the Saints.
