Bob Bradley departs Swansea City after 85 days in charge tonnes

The 58-year-old was appointed at the beginning of October following the Swans poor start to the 2016/17 season under Italian manager Francesco Guidolin.

Bradley, however, couldn't reverse the decline during a brief 85-day tenure which yielded eight points from 11 league matches.

A 4-1 defeat to West Ham on Monday was the final straw for the Swansea City's owners who confirmed his dismissal on the club's official website.

'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.

'Personally, I have nothing but praise for Bob. He is a good man; a good person who gave everything to the job. His work-rate is phenomenal and we wish him well for the future.''
