Bob Bradley says that he will "challenge the players every day" after being appointed Swansea City manager.

New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley has claimed that he will "challenge the players every day" during his reign at the Liberty Stadium.

The former USA coach was immediately hired by the Welsh outfit following the sacking of Francesco Guidolin.

Bradley's first game in charge will be a trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal on October 15.

"I will give everything to make sure that we step on that pitch and make the fans proud," Bradley told the club's official website. "I want a team that works unselfishly and hard, and is committed to playing football in the right way and winning.

"My job as the leader in all of this is to challenge the players every day to find the right ways to encourage and to be positive. We must make sure every time we step on the field we are one, strong team ready to give everything for our supporters."

Bradley has become the first American to manage in the Premier League.
