Southampton have confirmed that Danny Rohl has been appointed to Ralph Hasenhuttl’s coaching staff, after an agreement was reached with RB Leipzig.

The 29-year-old joins the club as Hasenhuttl's No 2 after having held a similar role during the Austrian's spell at the Bundesliga club.

Leipzig finished second in the German top flight in the 2016/17 season under the pair's guidance and also reached the Europa League quarter-finals last season.

Hasenhuttl replaced Mark Hughes last week as manager but lost his opening game in charge away to Cardiff.
