?Southampton manager Claude Puel has stressed that he feels “comfortable” at the club despite speculation over his future.
The Frenchman’s defensive approach in recent weeks has reportedly frustrated some fans, while the players have been alienated by his incessant tinkering with team selections.
Puel is set to meet with Saints’ executive director Les Reed after the final game of the season against Stoke, but he has insisted that he is not considering a potential exit.
“I am under contract and I am comfortable with Southampton,” Puel told talkSPORT. “My work and my wish, is just to stay concentrated about this last game and finish well.
“We have an opportunity to finish up in the table and it’s a good thing after this long and difficult season. We are lucky about this and that is the most important thing.”
He added: “I keep my conversation about the team private, and to prepare for this last game.
“Other things I don’t want to comment about. I don’t know what it is, and it’s not interesting for me to comment.
“Just the other day, I saw good work in training and good concentration and this is the most important for me.
“I am satisfied about the strong work all season because it’s a long season with many games. Sometimes it was fantastic, and they always give a good attitude and good spirit in every training session and every game, sometimes without the good reward. I say congratulations for all this good work all season.”
