Brendan Rodgers spent just under two years in charge at Swansea between 2010 and 2012

Rodgers, 43, has been out of the game since he was sacked by Liverpool in October following the Merseyside derby draw with Everton.

Swansea have been looking for a permanent boss since they parted company with Garry Monk last December.

They have Francesco Guidolin in charge until the summer but he is among possible candidates to replace Antonio Conte as Italy boss.

Conte is standing down after the European Championships this summer to take charge of Chelsea and Guidolin is keen on taking over.
