Swansea City boss Gary Monk has claimed that he sought the advice of former Swans managers Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Martinez upon accepting the role at the Liberty Stadium.
The 34-year-old replaced Michael Laudrup last week "for the foreseeable future" and marked his first game in charge with a 3-0 win over Cardiff City in the South Wales derby on Saturday.
He told reporters at a press conference: "I spoke to Brendan, I spoke to Roberto and I spoke to Kenny Jackett - all people who have been here.
"They gave me advice which I will keep to myself, but they are guys at the very top of their game and when they are giving you good advice and wishing you well and giving you little bits and bobs, it can only help."
Monk's first away trip in charge of the Welsh outfit will be a visit to Stoke City on Wednesday.
