Confirmed: Swansea appoint former Udinese boss Francesco Guidolin as new manager
SWANSEA have confirmed the appointment of Francesco Guidolin as their new manager.
Francesco Guidolin has taken charge at Swansea until the end of the season
The Swans have made the surprise move to appoint the 60-year-old despite recently saying interim boss Alan Curtis would take charge until the end of the season.
The Welsh club sacked Garry Monk as manager last month and had installed Curtis in his place.
But Guidolin has now taken the top job at the Liberty Stadium, although "both parties have agreed to review the position at the end of the season with the option of extending the contract".
The former Udinese boss is expected to be in the stands for Swansea's clash with Watford tonight (8pm).
