Swansea City fire manager, Bob Bradley, after 11 games

Bob Bradley has been fired from his role as Swansea City manager, 85 days after appointment following Francesco Guidolin’s sacking.

The Welsh club recorded two wins, seven defeats and two draws after eleven games in charge.

The American’s dismissal comes after a 4-1 thrashing by West Ham in a Premier League match at Liberty Stadium on Boxing Day, December 26.

‘We are sorry to lose Bob after such a short period of time,’ the club’s chairman, Huw Jenkins said in a statement.

‘Unfortunately things haven’t worked out as planned and we felt we had to make the change with half the Premier League season remaining.

‘With the club going through such a tough time, we have to try and find the answers to get ourselves out of trouble.’

The club’s first team coaches Paul Williams and Alan Curtis will take charge in the short term, while club owners search for a new manager in ‘due course’.

Swansea City is 19^th on the league standings with 12 points from 18 matches played.
