Carlos Carvalhal has insisted he will give Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri a 'big hug' should the Thai businessman attend Swansea's FA Cup tie at Hillsborough.
Chansiri brought an end to Carvalhal's two-and-a-half year reign at Wednesday on Christmas Eve but the Swansea manager said he still has a 'fantastic relationship' with his former employer.
Carvalhal took Wednesday to the final and semi-finals of the Championship play-offs before results tailed off this season and he departed the club.
The Portuguese was appointed at the Liberty Stadium four days later in a shock move that has since reaped rewards, with Swansea moving out of the relegation zone and into the FA Cup fifth round with an 8-1 demolition of Notts County.
