Rodgers: Why would I leave beautiful Swansea?

Brendan Rodgers has given a clear sign he has everything he needs at Swansea City.

The success of the Swans this season has led to speculation linking Rodgers with a bigger job.

Rodgers was asked how easy it would be to stay at Swansea beyond this season.

"Very, very simple. The sea is beautiful there, it's a beautiful part of the world," he said. "I'm allowed to work, I'm the manager of the club. There's no political games, there's nothing.

"I've learnt I have my health - I lost both my parents in the last 18 months or so and that put a massive perspective on my life. My family's happy. As you can see I love working with the team and the players. There's no doubt somewhere along the line in the next 30 years - I'm 39 so hopefully I'm going to be around a long time - if I keep working well maybe the chance [will come] later on. But my only focus and my only respect is with Swansea City. I signed a three-and-a-half-year deal and I love being here."
