Carlos Carvalhal hopes to stay at Swansea but says he wants to continue working in the English leagues if he does leave after their relegation

Carlos Carvalhal says he will resist offers from abroad in order to continue his managerial career in the English leagues, whether that is at Swansea or elsewhere.

Carvalhal was a mid-season replacement for Paul Clement, who was sacked as Swansea boss in December after a disastrous start to the season where the club won just three matches before Christmas.

The Spaniard was unable to prevent Swansea from being relegated, and after the final-day defeat to Stoke the club's owners released a statement stating Swansea must rediscover their identity as a football club.

Carvalhal said on Sunday he was happy with initial discussions with the Swansea hierarchy regarding his and the club's future, and revealed he has already fielded interest in his services from English as well as foreign sides.

"The club is very well organised and it has been a pleasure to work at Swansea," Carvalhal told Sky Sports News.
