Swansea City head coach Vitor Matos insists he is not focusing on next season despite losing ground on the Championship play-offs.

The Swans lost 2-0 away to Welsh rivals Wrexham – a result which leaves them eight points adrift of the top six with eight games remaining. The club’s next game is at home to Championship leaders Coventry City on 21 March (17:15 GMT).

When asked if he is now looking ahead to the next campaign, Matos said: “No. Same as before. Next game. Nothing has changed.”

“It’s of course [about] building for the future, that is always the idea and that we can go step by step is most important.

“Not everyone is rushing for step three before [step] two and that’s what we want of course.

“Now is not the time to speak about next season, now is the time to focus and improve for Coventry because it will be a good game against a team that is top of the league.

“We need to put in a proper performance and compete as much as we can.”
