Swansea chairman Hew Jenkins gives his reasons for why Francesco Guidolin has been kept on as Swansea's head coach for the next two seasons.

Francesco fully deserves the chance to continue his good work into the new campaign. He was prepared to come into the club at such a difficult time and put himself in a pressure situation with the club fighting for survival.

He has achieved the goal of securing top-flight football for this club with plenty to spare and has earned the right to start afresh next season. It’s going to be another challenge for everyone, but we are looking forward to seeing how far he can take this squad of players over a full season.

We are confident that he can carry on the good work at the end of this season into the new campaign. There has obviously been a lot of speculation over recent weeks about a possible change of manager, but the board has been impressed with the way he has quietly gone about the job of improving performances and results since January.

Can't argue with any of that, perhaps we should ask him to sort out our vacancy, has picked up some half decent ones in his time as chairman.
