Today marks six years since Swansea City appointed Francesco Guidolin as their permanent manager.
“I’m pleased to confirm that we have reached an agreement with Francesco on a new two-year contract,’’ then Swans chairman Huw Jenkins said. “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.
