Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl says he's unconcerned about sack rumours.

Saints are coming into Premier League meetings with West Ham United and AFC Bournemouth over the next week off the back of four consecutive defeats.

The form, and subsequent media reports about his handling of the squad, have meant Hasenhuttl has been subjected to regular questions about his job security.

However, he insisted: “Not really one minute I think about this. This is not the way I plan my week and as long as I am here I do my best for us to be successful.

“It costs me so much energy and I have no energy left for thinking about your question, but it is always nice when Friday is coming and you ask me this question because it is the first time I think about it.

“This shows me that everything else we do here has only one focus and that focus is to make the team better, and this takes enough energy."

He added: “In any league, you need to have arguments and I can only answer this question when I have wins, at the moment I do not have wins so I cannot answer this question and you are in the better position.

“The only goal is to see my team working hard and knowing that at the weekend we have a very important game for this club and for the fans, it is not about me.

“I think we have done a very good job in the last four years and it is quite necessary now to win games because of this, otherwise it is possible we are below the line."
