Bob Bradley made an emphatic entrance into British football at his unveiling as the new Swansea manager on Friday - and the American has vowed to prove his sceptics wrong at the Liberty Stadium.
The former USA manager replaced Francesco Guidolin at the south Wales club after a run of six league games without a win - including five defeats - led to the dismissal of the Italian, with Swansea 17th in the Premier League.
While his predecessor appeared somewhat of a sitting duck given the club's new American owners, a bullish Bradley banished the preconceptions which come with being the first man from the States to take charge in the English top flight.
