Vitor Matos says Ben Davies will always be welcome at Swansea City after the Wales defender watched Tuesday's draw with Preston North End from the directors' box.
Swansea head coach Matos spoke to Davies after the Preston game, but insists they did not discuss the idea of the Tottenham Hotspur player returning to his old club.
Davies sees his current Spurs contract expire at the end of the season and is currently sidelined because of a broken ankle.
The 32-year-old, who came through the Swansea academy, has connections with the Welsh club's current owners.
"I was really happy for him to be here, to speak with him," Matos said.
"[He is] someone from here and as well from the club. It's always nice to have this kind of connection with the players that have a past here.
"I think in the moment where he is [with injury], it's always good to have his friends around and feel comfortable wherever he goes, at home especially."
As things stand, Davies will be a free agent at the end of the season, though it remains to be seen whether Tottenham will offer him the chance to extend his 12-year stay in London.
The Neath-born left-back or centre-back made 85 senior appearances for Swansea before leaving for Spurs in 2014.
When asked whether Davies could join the list of players who have rejoined former clubs, Matos added: "It's not the first time that it happened, that's true, [but] we didn't speak about that.
"I think more important is that he's having a good recovery and then he feels back again to his best shape.
"I think that's what everyone at the club and his friends want for him.
"We are here for whatever he needs from our side as well to help him because he's someone from the club who grew up here."
