Alan Sheehan says he must find out if his plans align with those of Swansea City's owners as he waits to discover whether he will become the club's permanent head coach.

Sheehan's sparkling spell as caretaker boss continued as his side won 2-1 at Queens Park Rangers on Monday.

Swansea have now won five straight Championship games – their longest run of successive league triumphs since 2007 – and have taken 23 points from 11 matches since Sheehan took charge in February.

But there has been no indication yet over the club's managerial plans beyond this season, with Sheehan at the helm for only two more matches as things stand.

"At the end I am sure I will have a conversation with the owners and see where we are at," Sheehan said after the QPR win.

"I think it's got to be a mutual decision and [we will] see if we are all aligned. I think what we have done obviously is quite exceptional in the Championship.

"I think suddenly what wasn't going to be a good season… now I think hopefully there's a bit of light at the end of the tunnel."

Swansea were glancing nervously towards the relegation places after a run of seven defeats in nine league games spelled the end for former boss Luke Williams.

But the remarkable upturn in form means the Swans are now 14 points clear of the bottom three – and only six points outside the play-off places - with fans chanting in support of Sheehan at Loftus Road.

Swansea are thought to have spoken to a number of potential candidates for their manager's job since Williams departed, with Swedish duo Kim Hellberg and Henrik Rydstrom reportedly among the names the Welsh club have considered.

Sheehan, meanwhile, has been touted as a contender for jobs elsewhere given the impact he has had at Swansea.

The Irishman has consistently indicated he would like to remain at Swansea – but says discussions over the future must take place before anything is agreed.

"I think that's a conversation to be had – if they (Swansea) want it to be me, what does it look like? What do you expect?" he added.

"I have got massive affection for the players at this football club and if it comes down to it, I have got to be honest and think OK, are we aligned, is this possible? Because I don't want to just survive. I want to do something with the team.

"I love this club. It's been good to me, I have been good to it I think as well. We are in a good place that way."
