Luke Williams says he hopes to stay at Swansea City for the long term after insisting he was never in the frame to take over at West Bromwich Albion.
Williams has apologised to any fans who he felt he showed "a lack of commitment" to Swansea by failing to rule out a move to managerless West Brom.
The Swansea head coach has faced criticism over comments he made about the Albion links after Swansea's win over Luton last weekend and Wednesday's thrashing at Portsmouth.
Williams says his light-hearted responses to media questions were because there was "absolutely nothing in" rumours about a move to West Brom.
