Yahoo Sports Williams speculation 'unhelpful', says chairman Coleman
Chairman Andy Coleman says speculation surrounding Luke Williams' Swansea City future has been "unhelpful".
Williams was swiftly installed as favourite with bookmakers to replace Carlos Corberan at West Bromwich Albion after the Spanish coach left the Baggies to join Valencia during the festive period.
After failing to shut down links to the Hawthorns vacancy when questioned by the media, Swansea supporters were left concerned that Williams could be leaving the club a year after joining from Notts County.
Ahead of his side's Championship fixture with West Brom on Saturday (12:30 GMT), Williams confirmed he was staying at Swansea, adding that he wanted to remain in his position for the long-term.
Writing in his pre-match programme notes ahead of the game against West Brom, Coleman said: "There has been some unhelpful speculation regarding our head coach, Luke Williams, and links to today's opponents.
"I want to assure you that Luke remains fully committed to Swansea City.
"I know that his focus is on guiding our team to success, and we are united in our efforts to achieve our goals for the season."
The American added: "As we enter the new year, there is still much to be optimistic and excited about.
"We have won our last two home games in exciting fashion, and today's match is another opportunity to showcase our ambition and determination as we continue our journey through the second half of the season."
Swansea sit 12th in the Championship ahead of the meeting with West Brom - who are six points and six places better off than the Swans.
