Ruben Selles is looking forward to working with Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Selles was named Hasenhuttl's No2 last week.
“Ralph is a coach that likes to be active with his team," Selles told the club website. “Likes to defend really, really high.
“Likes to have a good defensive system to press high, to get the back four far away from the goalkeeper, to press the opponent, to get the ball back as quick as possible, so I would say we have a lot of common points with our philosophy."
He continued: “Ralph is from the Red Bull philosophy, where you can find the organisation and the respect to the ball that you need, so I think we are in the same line.
“Of course with different details, and that's why it's going to be good, because we can, from each perspective, give the best to the team."
He also said: “Due to my career I've worked in seven countries now, including England.
“I think I know how to adapt quick into new environments with new people, new players, new culture, and that has been a big point in the last 10 years of my career, working in Azerbaijan and Denmark mainly.
“This also helps in the way that we have been really successful in both countries with four different clubs, and I think that says that I have the ability to read the environment and what is needed to organise a team to be a winning team.
“You will win or lose, but to make a strong team together. Always in Southampton you speak about the family, so I think that has been one of the main points – to be able to create that kind of environment in a team and to perform together to reach the next level."
