"I'm a Swansea boy and with Swansea-Cardiff there's always a little bit of...but I've been to Cardiff many times with my family and everything and the people there have been fantastic, I always have a bit of craic with them. That rivalry is always going to be there," he said.
"But for us, for me, Cardiff City are a good Championship team and they're an obstacle we've got to get over."
He continued: "When you're a manager then you're different to when you're a player. Most of my friends support Swansea City, my schoolfriends, and I think they're thinking they want a Swansea City v Cardiff City play-off final. So that's what they're looking at.
"For me, even when we play Swansea - and I played for Swansea and have been a Swansea supporter all my life - I still want to beat them. I want to beat them just as much as I want to beat any other team. I just want to win and Cardiff's no different."
