Jenkins was hoping to meet Giggs, the former Manchester United attacker and assistant manager, ahead of the EFL Cup tie against Manchester City, which Swansea went on to lose 2-1, but postponed the plans after talks with majority shareholders Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien.

Kaplan and Levien, who completed their £100million takeover in Ju, are keen for stability and are reluctant to make a change so early in the season.

But Giggs has been a Jenkins target for some time and while it is unclear whether the 42-year-old would accept the post, Guidolin appears increasingly likely to be sacked before the next international break in October.
