Swansea manager Garry Monk revealed he is close to signing a new contract after overseeing a superb season, finishing a club-highest eighth in the Premier League.
Ahead of the 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, the Swans were guaranteed to secure eighth place regardless of what happened in south-east London.
While it was not the result they wanted, the loss failed to take the gloss off an impressive campaign under Monk.
"I'm talking to the club about a new contract and those negotiations are well under way now,'' said Monk, who also revealed that defender Neil Taylor is close to agreeing fresh terms. "We've had good initial talks and hopefully it can happen sooner rather than later.
"I'm very focused on Swansea and the transition I've done this season hasn't finished. I want to put my stamp on the club.
"I'm more than sure that with the conversations that have already gone on that we'll be able to sort out a contract over the next few days.''
The Welsh club achieved their record Premier League points total (56), but ended the campaign on a low point with the defeat.
"It's not a reflection on the season," Monk stressed. "We've been fantastic. Today was disappointing. It was quite a poor match. There weren't too many good chances in the game and I said to the players at half-time that the match would likely be decided on a mistake.
"Unfortunately for us it was us that made the mistake in that situation for the goal.
"It did look at the time like a little bit of a push on Bafe when it fell to Chamakh, but unfortunately it was us that made that mistake and they got the crucial goal.
"I know we had a lot of key players out and we had a lot of changes in terms of the personnel but that's not an excuse, it's just the way it is at this stage of the season.
"A little bit disappointed today but, in terms of the bigger picture, we've been unbelievable this season. Eighth place, highest points tally - it's been incredible from start to finish, so I can't be too harsh."
