Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins is counting on manager Michael Laudrup to stay beyond the end of this season.
Jenkins is optimistic of keeping the Dane long-term.
"I hope this won't be Michael's last season with us," Jenkins told the South Wales Evening Post. "The last thing we wanted after last season was a change in manager, and nothing is going to change on that front.
"I hope we have a fantastic season, that we do really well in the Premier League and the cups and that Michael feels there is still growth in our club and that he can stay here for a few years yet.
"That's clear in my mind and I hope it is the case."
