Vitor Matos has been appointed as Swansea City's new head coach, signing a four-year contract.
Matos previously worked as an elite development coach under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, where he helped the club win a Premier League title.
He departed Liverpool in May 2024, later joining Pep Lijnders at Red Bull Salzburg and most recently managing Portuguese side Maritimo.
Swansea chief executive Tom Gorringe praised Matos's clear plan, extensive experience at elite clubs, and commitment to attacking football and player development.
Matos will lead his first game as Swans boss in Tuesday's Championship fixture against Derby, following the departure of interim manager Darren O'Dea.
