Swansea City boss Francesco Guidolin is delighted to get his chance in the Premier League so late in his career.

The 60-year-old has been appointed until the end of the season and has stated he would like to see his terms extended into the next campaign.

The Italian said: "When I was younger, a boy in Italy, we could watch some matches on the television. We used to get English football.

"I remember important players like Bobby Charlton and Kevin Keegan. But Mick Channon, for example, I loved him.

"I liked watching Arsenal, Tottenham — I was a little boy and dreamed of one day playing in England."
