Swansea City have offered Garry Monk the chance to stay on as boss – with a two year deal on the table.

It is understood the Swans board made their decision to give 35-year-old managerial rookie Monk a chance in the hot-seat after lengthy boardroom talks on Friday.

While the board were in the balance over whether to make Monk a permanent successor to Michael Laudrup, it is thought they then agreed to throw their support behind the former captain following his efforts in picking up the pieces left behind by Laudrup and helping steer the side to safety.

Monk was still in the dark before Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Southampton but it is believed he has now been told the job is his with talks over terms set to commence.

It remains to be seen what conditions are included in any offer which could yet see Monk told he must bring in greater experience in the back-room staff to assist him in his first full season.

But Monk has made his feelings clear that he wants to build on keeping Swansea in the Premier League and take the club forward.

"There’ll be an announcement before the end of the season," Monk said after the Southampton defeat.
