Swansea City sack manager Francesco Guidolin and replace him with Bob Bradley

The Italian manager struggled this season, with the Swans picking up just one win from the first seven games

Swansea City have sacked manager Francesco Guidolin and replaced him with former US national team manager Bob Bradley.

Guidolin replaced Garry Monk at the Liberty in January of this year but has now been axed following a poor start to 2016/17.

The Swans have won just one of their opening seven Premier League matches and currently sit 17th in the table.

The Italian manager – who signed a new two-year deal in May – hinted last week that a defeat at home to Liverpool would cost him his job and that prediction has proven to be correct.

And Swansea chiefs have wasted no time in appointing Bradley in his place.

Bradley got his big break managing the US national team, a post he occupied between 2006 and 2011. He took charge of Egypt after that before spells with Stabaek and Le Harve, who he has now left.
