Swansea City are on the hunt for a new manager following the sacking of head coach Luke Williams.
Williams left the club after a poor run of results left them facing a relegation battle in the Championship.
Bookies’ current favourites to take over are Des Buckingham of Oxford United and former Swansea head coach Russell Martin.
Williams was in charge of the club for 13 months and has seen the club losing seven of its last nine matches, including a 3-0 defeat to arch-rivals Cardiff.
This was a difficult decision and one that has not been taken lightly.
Assistant head coach Alan Sheehan has been appointed as a caretaker coach “on an interim basis” ahead of their next game on Saturday against Blackburn Rovers.
“This was a difficult decision and one that has not been taken lightly,” club chairman Andy Coleman said. “Unfortunately, since the turn of the year our performances and results have not been of the standard required at this level.”
“The process to appoint a new head coach is already under way, and the club will update supporters on an appointment in due course.”
