Swansea City head coach Vitor Matos says he had a "really cordial" chat with predecessor Alan Sheehan – after they met on their street.

Matos took charge at Swansea in late November after Sheehan was sacked earlier in the month.

Sheehan, who is still living in the Welsh city with his family, revealed while working as a TV pundit on Swansea's draw with Birmingham City last weekend that Matos has moved into his street.

Matos says the duo have since bumped into each other once and are "good neighbours".

"We speak as normal neighbours speak and not about football really," the Portuguese added.

"Let's say football is one important thing in our lives, in your lives as well, my life as well, his life as well, but it's not the major important thing.

"I think when human beings can speak as normal, that's the most important thing. Everything is fine - no big problems between neighbours!

"I wish him all the best and he knows that as well."
