Matos’ early days in charge have been complicated by the absence of his backroom team from former club Maritimo, with Swansea still waiting for news on whether Diogo Medeiros, Toze Mendes and Goncalo Ricca will be granted UK work permits.
But club midfield greats Leon Britton and Joe Allen have joined Matos’ staff on a temporary basis to help with training and the Portuguese coach’s transition into the club.
“He’s [Matos] been brilliant you know, the gaffer, alongside obviously Brits and Joey – two club legends, there’s not many better people you want to learn off, they’ve been there and done it, they’ve been brilliant.
“I think any lads in any position can speak to them because they’ve played at obviously the highest level and they were great players but even better guys you know, you can go to them and ask them questions and they’ll give you advice and stuff so yeah it’s been brilliant.”
