Swindon Town head coach Gavin Gunning has said he is yet to be given an indication of his future with the club.

Gunning was placed in interim charge following the departure of Michael Flynn in January after a run of one win in eight matches and has said he would want the job on a full-time basis.

The 33-year-old has won two of his eight matches since taking over as he has managed a shift in style and working with a group of players who needed to be brought up to full fitness after arriving at the club in January with limited game time.

The club have given Gunning the role until the end of the season without looking for a permanent option, but are yet to discuss what comes next with the interim head coach.

He said: “I am too busy to be worrying about that, to be honest, I am just focusing on the next game all the time, next game, can we win, three points, that is all that matters to me.

“The future is going to take care of itself and whatever is going to be will be.

“I think they [the club hierarchy] can come to me when they feel it is right or when they feel it is going well enough, but I haven’t spoken to them.

“I think the eight games have been ok, we should have had a higher points tally, but if you look at the previous eight games, I think we had four points, and out of these eight games we have had ten.

“I know it is not brilliant, we should have had more and I am not happy with ten, but I feel like it is going in the right direction.

“Hopefully in the next eight games, we will get a lot more points than ten.”

Key to him demonstrating himself worthy of becoming Swindon’s permanent head coach will be addressing the troubling away form, which sees Town yet to win on the road on a Saturday this season.

Gunning said on these difficulties: “I don’t really know [why we have struggled], maybe we are too open.

“I think for the games I have been in charge of we probably should have won the Newport game and Gillingham we definitely should have won.

“It is a bit disrespectful for me to talk about the games before, but in those games, we were just not clinical enough.”
