Ronald Koeman: Southampton and Swansea models for other clubs

Ronald Koeman believes Southampton and Swansea are examples of how to conduct “football business” on and off the pitch.

Both sides have captured the imagination, with the south Wales side winning the Capital One Cup and establishing themselves as a Premier League force after promotion in 2011.

Swansea’s attack-minded philosophy and ability to replace outgoing stars is akin to that of Southampton, who have improved season after season since returning to the top table three years ago.
