Swansea City head coach Francesco Guidolin has already started planning for potential off-season transfer activity.
The Italian signed a two-year deal at the Premier League club on Wednesday, having led his team out of relegation trouble and into mid-table after arriving in January.
"I spoke with the chairman about my favourite shape and I spoke with him about the characteristics of new players we want," Guidolin told a news conference.
"I can say that only the characteristics of the players and the decision is with the club. I can't say, 'I want this player or another player'. I have spoken about characteristics."
"I'm very happy because I won my first challenge. My first challenge was for the club to get to know me, and now we begin the next challenge and I hope to do well," he added.
"I'm confident in myself and the results have helped me in the period since January - and for that I have to thank the players and my staff.
"I know I'm not a famous manager so it's been important for me to have this possibility to work in the Premier League and I'm very proud.
"But it's important we don't lose our identity. I want my team to play good football and achieve results. This season could be a lesson because in the last 10 years the club has always improved year on year."
