Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidolin says that joining the Premier League club as head coach is a "very good opportunity" for him.

Swansea City's new head coach Francesco Guidolin has described his appointment as a "very good opportunity".

The Italian, who spent four years in charge of Udinese before leaving in 2014, was appointed by the Swans on Monday until the end of the season.

Guidolin will work alongside interim manager Alan Curtis, but the 60-year-old, who will be in the stands for tonight's match against Watford at the Liberty Stadium, will have final say on team selection.

"It's a very good opportunity for me at an important club," Guidolin told the club's official website. "At the moment it's not a good situation for the club, but we have a good team. In Italy, I helped my team finish in a good position in the table, and that's what I hope to achieve here at Swansea.

"At the moment everything is new to me, so I need three or four days to talk to the staff and players. After that, I will have a precise idea of things.

"I will be in the dugout on Sunday, but tonight is the focus for everyone. This evening we have an important match. I will be watching the match and hopefully we can get three points. Alan Curtis is a legend at Swansea, and this is important for me. He knows everything about the club."

The Welsh club are currently 18th in the Premier League table, two points from safety.
