Southampton move for £50m pair Quincy Promes and Guido Carrillo as Mauricio Pellegrino dismisses job concerns

Show/hide article…

The managers in the dugout at St Mary’s on Sunday afternoon were born within six months of each other. They are former Argentina international team-mates and even share the same Christian name.

They were also unknown to Southampton fans when they controversially replaced a successful managerial predecessor – and it is at this point that comparisons between Mauricio Pochettino and Mauricio Pellegrino become harder to sustain.

The impact of Pochettino on the Southampton squad was evident in his first match against Everton in 2013 when the players immediately implemented the high press, high intensity style that is his hallmark.

Pellegrino is six months into his tenure and, after only five wins in 25 games, many Southampton supporters will tell you that they still have no idea how he wants this team to play.

They have not won a Premier League match since November and, with clubs around them in the relegation battle having resorted to a managerial change, it is with some justification that bookmakers now regard Pellegrino as the next casualty.

The Southampton hierarchy had always intended to support him through what has so far been a frustrating transfer window. Yet it is clear also that the situation is under scrutiny and the need for some sort of revival is becoming urgent.

Mauricio Pellegrino not worried about losing Southampton job

Show/hide article…

Mauricio Pellegrino insists he does not fear for his job at Southampton, despite seeing his side go 10 Premier League games without a win.

Pellegrino replaced the sacked Claude Puel at the helm in the summer, despite the Frenchman guiding the club to a ninth-placed finish and a League Cup final spot last season.

Saints have not won in the league since thrashing Everton 4-1 on November 26, but Pellegrino remains confident he can reverse the south coast club’s fortunes.

“I am not worried about my job, in the future,” said Pellegrino, whose side face Tottenham on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

"Even in difficult situations I enjoy my job, obviously I am happier when the fans are proud of the team.

"But in football, in sport, if you don’t want to be in difficult situations, don’t play the game, stay at home and don’t play the game.

"I want to play the game, even given the consequences. If you play the game in difficult situations and move forward, you will be stronger.

“We are building something not just for the next two games, it’s for the future. I feel I am growing, and I am learning too.”

Meanwhile, the pressure is mounting on Pellegrino to bring in players before the transfer window deadline on January 31.

Southampton have cash to spend after sanctioning a big-money move for Virgil van Dijk, though failed in their attempts to lure their former striker Theo Walcott back to St Mary’s.

Pellegrino has admitted he is remaining patient on signings, despite time not being on his side.

Last week Southampton had a bid rejected by Monaco for front man Guido Carrillo, who Pellegrino previously worked with during his time coaching in Argentina.

Southampton’s Mauricio Pellegrino not fearing for job

Show/hide article…

Mauricio Pellegrino has insisted he does not fear for his future at Southampton.

The Argentine manager has admitted he now faces the toughest challenge of his career, with Saints winless in 10 Premier League matches.

Southampton have not won in the league since thrashing Everton 4-1 on November 26, but Pellegrino remains confident he can reverse the south coast club’s fortunes.

“I am not worried about my job, in the future,” said Pellegrino, whose side face Tottenham on Sunday. "Even in difficult situations I enjoy my job.

"Obviously I am happier when the fans are proud of the team.

"But in football, in sport, if you don’t want to be in difficult situations, don’t play the game, stay at home and don’t play the game.

"I want to play the game, even given the consequences. If you play the game in difficult situations, and move forward, you will be stronger.

“We are building something not just for the next two games, it’s for the future. I feel I am growing, and I am learning too.”

Asked if he now faces the toughest challenge of his managerial career, Pellegrino said: "Yes for sure, I expect always that my challenging moment, or my most important moment, hopefully will come.

"For this reason I am not worried about my job.

“I am worried about a lot of things, but not my job. You have to work and be ready to compete against everyone.”

Pellegrino expects Southampton to bolster their forward line during this month’s transfer window, but until then he backs his current squad to reverse their recent poor run of form.

The 46-year-old remains adamant he can handle the pressure building on him.

Asked how the job affects him personally, he said: "I don’t know, depends on the day. Sometimes you win and you can’t sleep.

"Sometimes you lose and you drink a glass of wine. Because you can be proud of what you did.

"I am proud when my players do their best, give everything. When they work as a team. This is my biggest challenge at this club, for them to work as a team.

"The result is important, but it’s not everything sometimes. Massive games, challenging moments and how to approach these moments; it’s my job.

"I feel alive helping my players approach this. It’s not about tactical battle, it’s about mental moments, how to approach difficult situations.

"And I’m enjoying it for sure. When you are too comfortable you feel you’re not growing.

"The difficult moments are more important than the easier moments, 100 per cent. You can learn from the experiences. It’s really constructive for everyone.

“When the players show the attitude on the pitch, I know the fans will support the players. And we have to create this energy right now.”
