Swansea City have parted ways with manager Garry Monk after less than two years.
The former club captain had led the club to a top-half finish last season, but a poor run of results prompted the board to let him go. Brendan Rodgers is favourite to replace Monk, but whether the former Swans boss wants to return is a different matter. https://twitter.com/SwansOfficial/status/674615777048137729 "The decision has been made very reluctantly and with a heavy heart," chairman Huw Jenkins said. “It was not a decision we took lightly, especially given Garry’s history and standing within the club," added Jenkins, noting that the club hopes to replace the 36-year-old "as soon as possible". Swansea have won just once since the end of August, a 2-1 win at bottom club Aston Villa, and currently sit one point above the relegation zone.Explore more on these topics:
