Southampton have reportedly decided to offer manager Ronald Koeman a new contract.

The 52-year-old took charge at St Mary's Stadium in 2014 and went on to guide the Saints to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League last term.

It is believed that the job that he has done so far on the South Coast has alerted the Dutch FA following the nation's struggle to qualify for Euro 2016.

However, Southampton are keen to keep hold of the former Barcelona centre-back and will attempt to entice him into staying put with the promise of an improvement to his current terms, according to The Mirror.

Koeman is currently contracted to the Premier League club until the summer of 2017.
