Francesco Guidolin was one of the most underrated coaches in football when in charge at Udinese. He managed to steer Udinese into consecutive Champions League spots, including the year in which Serie A was demoted to having three UCL spots.

Stars like Alexis Sanchez, Mehdi Benatia, Kwadoh Asamoah were developed under his tutelage and he managed to reinvigorate Antonio Di Natale in an inspirational manner.

Rumours of dissent in the Swansea dressing room have been circulating, but on the back of this game and his past record, the Italian deserves to be given more time.
