The Swansea City manager is being linked with moves to both Celtic and Wigan at the moment with Dave Whelan a knbown big admirer of the man that started his English league career at the club.
Roberto has always insisted that he is only at the start of a job at Swansea City and has many times expressed his desire to lift them into the Premier League before he even considers a move elsewhere.
But with Wigan boss Steve Bruce the hot favourite to take over at Sunderland, Roberto has been reported as the clear favourite of the Wigan board to take over at the JJB Stadium.
Jenkins though remains confident of keeping hold of the man he appointed into management back in February 2007 anmd who has lifted the club from mid table in League One to top end of the Championship table whilst playing some of the best football ever seen in these parts.
Jenkins said “I am not surprised Roberto’s name has been mentioned – but I am not concerned
“We’ve been through the Wigan thing before – he was there for a while as a player and has a good rapport with the chairman.
“So it’s natural any time anybody goes from Wigan Roberto’s name will be mentioned.
“But at the moment we’ve got a job to do here and I believe he his fully committed to the next few years to see where he can take us.
“Although Wigan are a Premier League club, I believe that, over the next few years, ourselves as a club will hopefully equal where Wigan are and eventually we could have far more to offer Roberto.
“The way he is developing, I am sure there will be plenty of time to consider top jobs in this country and abroad as and when they become available over the next 10 years or more.
“The right choice may well come eventually but there will be plenty of time for that.”
