"Leon Britton has played for 13 Swansea City managers, coached under two and even had a hand in appointing one. There are few people who have a better idea, therefore, of what it takes to be a successful Swansea boss. And while these are early days in the reign of Vitor Matos, Britton has seen encouraging signs. "I've been highly impressed," says Britton, who has returned to Swansea as a first-team coach under Matos."
""His messages are clear, what he wants from the players, and I think that's been seen on the pitch. "Even in the short time that he's had, I think it's clear that the ideas that he's got have transmitted to matchdays. I think that's always a sign of a good manager." Britton has quickly learned how Matos works having answered the call from Swansea, the club where he made more than 500 appearances across all four divisions between 2002 and 2018, in November."
Leon Britton made over 500 appearances for Swansea between 2002 and 2018 and has worked under 13 managers, coached under two, and helped appoint one. Britton returned to Swansea in November as a first-team coach and advisor after a spell away from coaching and an ambassador role. Vitor Matos's messages and tactical ideas have been clear and have translated to matchdays, which Britton sees as a sign of a good manager. Matos initially could not bring his backroom staff due to employment rules, so Swansea asked Britton and Joe Allen to join temporarily. Britton answered a late call from the club and reported to the training ground the following Monday, willing to help without hesitation.
