Rodgers set for new deal

by Setanta Staff , 26 January 2012 Rodgers set for new deal

Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers is expected to sign a new three-year contract extension in the coming days.


Rodgers has operated on a rolling contract since his arrival at the Liberty Stadium 18 months ago, but after successfully guiding the Welsh side to promotion and impressing in the Premier League, the Swans are keen to tie him down to a long-term contract.

A deal has now been agreed in principle, and Rodgers expects to put pen-to-paper on the new contract by the end of the weekend.

"I spoke with the chairman today and we have agreed everything in principle, we just need to draft up the paperwork and be presented with it over the weekend, then it will be signed and done and that will be fantastic," said Rodgers.

"It was clear to me I wanted to be here. There was very little to discuss and I will be proud to move forward with the project.

"Ultimately my job is to make Swansea a sustainable Premier League club, that's the challenge.

"It looked a massive challenge to get promoted, but since then we have shown we can compete at this level. Although we are riding high and playing well, the objective is to stay in the league, that would be monumental and give the club more money to invest in the team.

"But the goal is firstly to make Swansea sustainable and you can obviously build from that."
