Vitor Matos says he is "pleased with the ambition" after Snoop Dogg declared that Swansea City's owners want to make the club a "global name".
Rap star Snoop Dogg is one of Swansea's celebrity co-owners alongside Real Madrid legend Luka Modric and billionaire businesswoman Martha Stewart.
They have been brought in by Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen, who took control of Swansea in November 2024, in an attempt to raise the profile of the Championship club.
Matos, who was appointed head coach just over two months ago, believes Snoop Dogg's target is proof that Swansea are in "good hands".
"That was one of the reasons why a lot of principles and thoughts came together when I was doing the interview with the club," Matos said.

"That's the feeling I got from the owners, this kind of ambition. I am pleased with the ambition and values."
Matos has made a positive impact since being named successor to Alan Sheehan, with Saturday's impressive victory at Watford lifting Swansea to 15th in the table.
While a season which began with play-off ambitions has been something of a struggle, a return to the Premier League in the not-too-distant future remains the target for Swansea's hierarchy.
"We want to improve the team and to improve the club," Matos said.
"Swansea is a really special club with identity that started long ago. We need to grab those values, grab the identity the club has and use them as the standards and build from that."
