Friis-Hansen should help the Saints in PRL The former midfielder Jacob Friis-Hansen has been hired as Director of the European Recruitment in tradition club Southampton, which he will assist in the Premier League as early as next season. The former midfielder Jacob Friis-Hansen stopped as scout in Liverpool in January but has now got itself a new and exciting job in the tradition of the club Southampton, who recently secured the direct promotion from League One to the Championship.Friis-Hansen is appointed with immediate effect as Director of the European Recruitment. - It is a newly created job that you have not had the club for a number of seasons now. "I must be some kind of sports director at the European market. That is to say that I am responsible for finding players and create a scouting department with full-and part-time employees. It is an incredibly exciting job and I am excited to get started," Friis-Hansen told bold.dk "Southampton moved after 27 years in England's top flight in 2005 and slipped out later into the third best series in a period marked of major economic problems. But both League One and the economic woes are past now, and Friis-Hansen come under great pressure from day one. - The club has a clear objective to advance directly to the Premier League, so we're going to find 5:00 to 6:00 quality players during the summer. I'll probably find three players, which in principle are good enough to play Premier League, but have the mentality to play the Championship in one or maximum two seasons, which is the deadline to move up, says Friis-Hansen. It can readily sounds like a somewhat overly ambitious goal, but the club has the means and facilities to pursue their dreams into reality. - The club is owned by the Swiss Liebherr family. They are wealthy and willing, it will cost. Short term goal Premier League, but in the longer term they will also in the Champions League and dominate the top of English football. - In addition the club has an academy in line with the very best in England. The developments include players like Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale, and it says little about the quality. And we are committed to developing both the academy and stadium facilities, if necessary. Southampton team is already quite talented with names like Adam Lallana, Morgan Schneiderlin and not least the teenager Alex Chamberlain." http://www.bold.dk/nyt/Friis-Hansen-skal-hjaelpe-Saints-i-PrL DTLW
