Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has reacted to UEFA's proposed changes to the Champions League.
Under the proposed changes, FA Cup winners will gain qualification, but only if they rank highly on UEFA's coefficient scale.
Asked for his opinion on the reported legacy spots for Champions League qualification, Hasenhuttl told the Daily Echo: "What does that mean?
"When you win now against Man City, who play now against Liverpool and in the final maybe have Chelsea, you win versus all these three teams and win the FA Cup because of having no history in European competitions you are not allowed to play in the Champions League?"
He added: "I can agree that a win in the FA Cup should lead you to the Champions League because if you win this, you can be sure that you need to win a minimum against one or two of the best teams in the world.
"Otherwise you don't win it. This is what it is every year, because there are too many good teams in England.
"So, when you win it, I agree, you can definitely be part of the Champions League because then you deserve to be there.
"But it will not happen very often that a team without a big name will win the FA Cup in the future."
