Planet Swans ArchivesNew Swans manager Roberto Martinez has said that the chance to manage the club he left last summer was an opportunity too good to turn down. Speaking in his pre-match conference before watching his new charges lose 1-0 at Yeovil, the Spaniard said “When I left it was like losing the love of your life and you always want to have them back,. “If it had been any other club then I would have carried on playing, but with Swansea City it is a completely different situation. “This is a club that I love, it is a fantastic challenge and I couldn’t say no – it was too big to turn down.
“Obviously in any job experience is important,” he said. “I would be stupid to say that experience will guarantee you success. “I know that I how other strengths which are knowing the squad, I know the football club and I know the fans and their expectations. “But what I can guarantee is that I’m going to give 24 hours of my day to this club, so maybe I can tick the other boxes to cover the lack of experience.”
