Rodgers is widely regarded as one of the best upcoming managers in the Premier League, and the new contract is sure to delight club fans.<br />

&ldquo;I&rsquo;m delighted to sign the new deal,&rsquo;&rsquo; said 39-year-old Rodgers. &ldquo;And I hope the club and supporters feel it is still a good fit for everyone.<br />

&ldquo;I very much appreciate what Swansea as a city, a club and supporters have given me and my family in my time here, so signing the new contract was one of the easiest decisions of my life.<br />

&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t have dreamt of things going much better when I came into the club. You are normally judged objectively over time, but I was aware that I needed to make an impact in a much shorter period.<br />

&ldquo;However, both the club and myself have grown hand and in hand &ndash; and the story continues."
