Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins is delighted to have captured such a "young, talented and ambitious" manager after appointing Brendan Rodgers. Jenkins had been linked with a host of managers but settled for the former Reading and Watford boss after careful consideration. He said: "We set down strict criteria for the job. We have a unique structure and playing style at the club that we were determined to maintain. "There were a lot of boxes to tick and that's why it didn't suit some candidates. Brendan not only ticked all our boxes, but he will offer us a lot more in our quest to keep this football club moving forward. "He is young, talented and ambitious. Just by speaking to him you can see he has amazing drive and we are all excited about working with him."
