SWANSEA. — Swansea gave new head coach Francesco Guidolin the perfect welcome present as they beat Watford 1-0 to climb out of the English Premier League relegation zone on Monday night.

Guidolin was announced as Swansea head coach, to work alongside interim manager Alan Curtis, just hours before kick-off at the Liberty Stadium.

The 60-year-old Italian will have the final say on team selection, but he was in a watching brief only as he looked on from the stands before his first official fixture at Everton on Sunday.

Guidolin’s presence had the desired effect as Ashley Williams’ first half goal secured Swansea’s first win in their last five games in all competitions. — AFP.
