Swansea City: Alan Sheehan Sacked As Head Coach

Swansea City have sacked Alan Sheehan as head coach as per a report from Stuart James at the Athletic.  The move brings to an end a short spell as permanent manager of the side and with the team in 18th place in the Championship.

The final straw it seems was Saturday’s humiliating 4-1 defeat at home to Ipswich although early reports yesterday suggested that there was to be a stay of execution but the news broke this morning with Stu reporting via the Athletic that

“Swansea City have sacked head coach Alan Sheehan in the wake of Saturday’s 4-1 home defeat to Ipswich Town.”

Sheehan was given the head coach role on a permanent basis after a caretaker spell at the end of last season where his side picked up a good run of form but this season has been more of a struggle and the team’s four wins have all come against sides in the bottom six of the division.

With a heavy investment in the playing side over the summer it appears clear that the owners were looking for more and the relative short tenure of Sheehan has come to an end with the next stage (at the time of writing) unclear but, as discussed on these pages, there were difficult questions to answer and it has become clear that the answers given were not acceptable to the ownership group.
