Guidolin: Sacking is a possibility

Francesco Guidolin concedes he may lose his job after Swansea City fell to another defeat despite taking the lead against Liverpool on Saturday.

Leroy Fer's early close-range finish put the hosts ahead at the Liberty Stadium, but Roberto Firmino's header and James Milner's 84th-minute penalty turned things around after the break as the Reds ran out 2-1 winners.

"I don't know, this is not my decision," said the Italian when asked about his future. 

"I have just to work every day, every week to prepare the team. This is my job, I know the situation.

"It's a possibility [being sacked], but the most important thing is to work with passion and to try to prepare for the next game, and games in general, with my style."

"They [the players] gave me a good answer, but I was sure of this because our relationship is good," he added.

"[There is] no problem between me and my players. There is a very, very good relationship. I was sure they would play a good game."

"In the first half we played very good football, aggressive, dynamic and had good ball possession against a very strong team," said the 60-year-old. 

"This is important for a manager because I can say our team is a good team, but not in a good moment. But we have all the possibility to change the situation."
