Marcelo Bielsa convinced he has Swansea job

Marcelo Bielsa expects to take charge of Swansea City next season.

The Mirror says Bielsa is back in the frame for the Swansea job with the Welsh club set for a £140million takeover.

Brendan Rodgers, who steered the Swans to promotion into the Premier League in 2011, is the favourite to succeed current boss Francesco Guidolin at the end of the season.

But Bielsa, 60, is understood to be so confident of getting the gig at the Liberty Stadium, he is already assessing the club's squad ahead of the summer transfer window.

Guidolin is expected to succeed Antonio Conte as Italy coach after the Euros.
