Swansea style has been great - Bradley

New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley says he wants to build on the passing style that has been their hallmark.

The 58-year-old became the first American appointed to manage a Premier League side following the sacking of Francesco Guidolin.

He told the club's website: "I think in recent years the football has been great."

"I love good passing football. I love the ability that when you have the ball it moves quickly."

Fellow American Brad Friedel told BBC Sport he felt Bradley would use a more direct, pragmatic style of play than the one adopted by previous Swansea managers Roberto Martinez, Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup.
