Southampton manager Roland Koeman has praised the club's fans for their response since his arrival on the south coast almost a year ago.
When asked in a press conference about the reception he has received from the Saints supporters the Dutchman said: "Fantastic. Very enjoyable.
"Of course it always normally depends on results, how it's going with the first team, but the connection to the club, to the people, to the fans is fantastic and that's important.
Koeman arrived amidst uncertainties at the club after last summer's transfer window which witnessed the core of the team leaving for different clubs as well as former manager Mauricio Pochettino's exit to Tottenham.
