A warm welcome would be appropriate for ex-Southampton manager Ronald Koeman, according to his successor Claude Puel.
Southampton boss Claude Puel has paid tribute to his predecessor Ronald Koeman ahead of the Everton manager's return to St Mary's Stadium.
Koeman impressed during his two-year tenure on the south coast, but incurred the displeasure of the Saints faithful by departing for Goodison Park in the off-season.
And while more than a few boos can be expected, the Frenchman hopes the crowd will not be too harsh on the former Barcelona player when he returns for the Premier League clash on Sunday.
