Guidolin admits he could lose Swansea job with loss to Liverpool

Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin seems resigned to the fact that his job at the helm of the club could be over if his side fails to procure all three points on Saturday against an in-form Liverpool.

The Swans currently sit 17th in the Premier League table just one point out of the relegation zone and have earned just one win in six matches thus far this season, leaving Guidolin in the hot seat.

When quizzed about his future at the club, the 60-year-old Italian tactician didn't hesitate to address the elephant in the room.

"It could happen. Maybe," Guidolin said of his potential firing, as quoted by The Guardian. "It's not easy (to beat Liverpool). But if we win for the period of the international break you don't speak any more about my position. But my position is not important, Swansea's position is important, and we must get a result."

The Guardian reports that Guidolin hasn't looked for any assurances from the Swansea board, and while he admitted his job could be on the line, his focus is only on the players, and preparing for a meeting with Jurgen Klopp's side.

"The most important thing is to work with my players on the training ground, to be focused on the next game," Guidolin said. "One of the best things of my experience in the Premier League was to know my players, last season, and this season.

"We can work together. I see them work with passion, and I heard they are behind me. This is important. I know this is not a good moment for the team but we just need to work and get a result. This is football and without a result these words are not important. We need to win - it's clear for me, clear for the chairman, clear for everyone."
