Swansea born and bred manager Chris Coleman has been appointed as the new manager of Swansea City Football Club to replace Carlos Carvalhal following the club's first relegation to the Championship in 7 years.
Swansea's chairman elect Huw Jenkins announced on his twitter account "I'm pleased to have convinced Chris (Coleman) to join us in our bid for Premier League promotion. We have made mistakes. But I,including Mr Kaplan and Mr Levien believe it is the right step to steady the ship and steer it towards the first tier.
Chris Coleman,who managed the Cymru national squad in Euro 2016 and guided them to the quarter finals, said in return "The board wanted experience and sagacity. And I believe I possess both of those qualities"
Coleman,who overtook Sunderland last season in the middle of the campaign that saw them relegate to League One,cited his influence and visible improvement he caused in the squad.
"The relegation was harsh to swallow. But this is football,you take it and move on to the next step. Sometimes it sticks,sometimes it doesn't" He added.
It is reported that Coleman signed on a 3 years contract that will see him pocketing 1.5 million pounds per annum. |  |
