​Ex-Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers has agreed to return to his former club in the summer, according to ​reports.





​The Daily Star claim that Rodgers has accepted a £90,000 per week deal, which will see him replace Francesco Guidolin, whose contract will expire at the end of the season.





Rodgers has been out of work since October after being sacked by Liverpool following a poor start to the season.

The Northern Irish manager is adored by Swansea City supporters after spending two years at the club, earning promotion from the Championship in 2011.





Rodgers revealed in February that he had been in contact with Swansea's owner, Huw Jenkins, over potentially replacing the sacked Gary Monk, but instead Rodgers opted to have a break from management until the summer.





Guidolin, who was drafted in in January, has remained focused on Saturday's Premier League tie with West Ham, claiming that his side must nullify the threat of Andy Carroll in the penultimate game at the historic Boleyn Ground.





“He is strong in the air, very powerful and very difficult to mark. I like him, he is dangerous and he is an important player for West Ham who we will need to try and stop." He said.





“They are a good team with important players and a good manager. They are a club with a big history."
