Nathan Jones, the head coach of Southampton, talked about the role he gave Kamaldeen Sulemana in a league game against Wolves on February 11 at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Wolves lost 1-2 to Southampton this past weekend in the English Premier League despite playing with 10 men after Mario Lemina was dismissed in the 27th minute.
Carlos Alcaraz gave the Saints the lead in the 24th minute, but the Wolves went on to win due to Joao Gomes and an own goal from Jan Bednarek.
Jones was fired after barely three months as Southampton’s head coach, having succeeded Ralph Hassenhuthl.
“Kamaldeen I thought was excellent…We had Paul (Onuachu) as a focal point and then put Kamaldeen as a floating player that can create and do stuff for other players that are getting into the box,” Jones said at his farewell news conference as head coach of Southampton Football Club.
Sulemana signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Southampton on 1st February 2023. The 21-year-old made his debut against Brentford.
