I play music from Queen, to Elton John, to classic.
— Ralph Hasenhuttl
I play the piano when I'm alone at home in the evening. Sometimes for friends when we are together, singing together, to create a nice atmosphere.
I don't know, at times I run a bit too far onto the pitch. But that's only in exceptional circumstances, and Jurgen does it too when a goal is scored!
On the piano, I cover all styles. I turn to it for inspiration in sport, and whenever I need my rest.
After a disappointing game, we don't want to look back.
It's about winning the ball, making this step or making the right decision. If you make all of these steps then wins, a final position in the table will come on its own.
I think it's not so difficult to get a good atmosphere in St Mary's.
To work for the team and for the success of the team. That is more important than one ego.
It would be worse if I have players who are happy if they sit on the bench, because that doesn't mean that we develop our game.
When I left Leipzig I was thinking about my next step, and I want to stand in front of a new team, new language, to get developed personally and in my view of football. That's why I made the decision to come to Southampton.
I want to bring the players to their limits.
If you want to be ahead of a team that never loses, that's not easy.
The players know what they have with Southampton, what they can expect from us, and that's the main part.
There are some games that are very special for the fans and they are really looking forward for these games, but for us as a manager in the moment it's not in our focus.
We are studying the opponent all the time and it is maybe about chess and finding the right move at the right moment and that makes this so interesting.
Sometimes I forget to shake hands with the other manager. I apologise. I'm learning, but I have a very good relationship with my players and also the crowd.
I was always a little bit compared to Jurgen because my core of working is working against the ball.
Bohemian Rhapsody' is fantastic. I like to play it, it's beautiful.
Gaming is something you have to force actively against and I will do this.
Tennis always fascinated me, because it made every demand: technology, tactics, physique, endurance. The competition of one against one has a very special charm.
Music has brought me a lot of emotional moments.
I was always in my mind that for the top-six clubs in England my name was not big enough.
I think when you invest a lot, you earn your rewards.
I play the piano.
If you want to be a part of a team I manage, it is important to put your ego to one side.
I'm looking forward, not afraid of anything.
My goal is to get my name known here in the Premier League.
I can't take a view of the future of every player.
Our philosophy is to give the young players a chance for the future because they are our future.
We are all ambitious but important for me first is to have a stable spine to the team.
I played until 37-years-old and my last three or four years I learnt the most.
I am a manager who tries to be respectful and also very demanding.
It costs me a lot to stay calm during a game.
As a player I had a few idols but that's not really interesting any more. I was a striker and focusing on guys like Marco van Basten but as a coach I want to make my own footsteps.
I have a wonderful flat in Southampton and sometimes after games I have friends and family round and we have very nice evenings - especially after wins.
The young players are only thinking about what they can win and that can sometimes be an advantage for you.
I found my luck in Leipzig. We achieved the goal of playing internationally much faster than we had intended. There are certainly worse destinies than being coach of such a team.
It wouldn't be the worst thing if you don't play that well but take points.
That's the way we want to go. Make smaller targets and then step by step developing.
For us it's important that we should become a team that is not easy to play against.
We show a player every good thing he does for the team, but if he makes a bad thing for the team, he will also hear about that, in front of the other players.
I enjoy it very much to work in the best league in the world.
I always challenge myself.
I know there are no guarantees of winning and the only thing we have is to work on chances. If you want guarantees buy a washing machine.
It's not about being happy, it's about being successful.
To take something in the Emirates Stadium is far away from being easy but we don't think about that.
If you play an intense way, an aggressive way, we are good, we can score, we can create chances.
You never stop learning.
To be honest helps you a lot to not waste time. It's also the way I help the players most. It doesn't matter if it is the captain or the last reserve player, I try to be honest.
I am a very emotional guy.
