Ronald Koeman: 'Our focus is on Europa League place'

By , Senior Reporter
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman admits that his side are unlikely to achieve a top-four spot in the Premier League table.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has revealed that the club's focus is on guaranteeing a Europa League place for next season.

The Saints have spent the majority of the campaign fighting for a top-four position, but after falling eight points adrift of Manchester City, Koeman has admitted that qualifying for next year's Europa League should be their aim for the remaining seven games of the season.

The 52-year-old told reporters: "You have to be realistic. Our focus, at the moment, has to be on fifth, sixth and seventh. If Saints reach the Europa League, it's like the rest reaching the Champions League."

Southampton host Hull City at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
