Carrlos Carvalhal is the new head coach of Swansea City.
A formal announcement has been made to confirm the appointment of the 52-year-old Portuguese coach who was sacked by Sheffield Wednesday on Christmas Eve with the Championship club in 15th place.
Carvalhal is understood to have agreed a deal until the end of this season with an option to remain beyond that should he be successful. His first match in charge is away to Watford on Saturday when he will face fellow Portuguese Marco Silva.
Player-coach Leon Britton has been in temporary charge of the Welsh club since they sacked Paul Clement on Dec 20. Briton is expected to stay on under Carvalhal.
The midfielder, 35, oversaw two games, a home draw against Crystal Palace and a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool. Swansea are currently five points adrift of safety with Carvalhal becoming their fifth manager in just two years.
