Francesco Guidolin keen to work in England again after Swansea departure

Francesco Guidolin admits he would love to work in England again despite his disappointing experience with Swansea. 

Guidolin became the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season when he was replaced by Bob Bradley on October 3 after less than nine months in the role.

The Italian kept Swansea in the Premier League after replacing Garry Monk last season, overseeing a run of six wins and two draws from their final 11 games, but a poor start to this campaign means he is looking for work once again.

"I thought they would give me more time, but unfortunately in our world these kind of things can happen," he told Sky Italy.

"Now I am ready for a new adventure. I would love to try again abroad, in England. What happens when you play a Premier League match, it is really beautiful and fascinating. 

"I had said no to four, five Italian teams because I felt the need for another experience abroad in addition to the one I had 10 years ago in France. When I got the call from a Premier League club I packed in three seconds and moved."

Swansea midfielder Jack Cork expressed his respect for Guidolin following his departure and the 61-year-old admitted he had received lots of support from people in the city. 

"I met people who were moved (touched) and told me how sorry they were for me," he added. "They told me I did not deserve this, that they wanted me to stay, that I am one of them. As if it had happened in my town, Udine."

"I am not the first one, I won't be the last one. Of course I am not used to this kind of solution because fortunately in my careers things have always gone well to me."
