"Image source, Getty Images Swansea City are in familiar territory as they return to the manager market. Having sacked Alan Sheehan just six months after appointing the Irishman on a full-time basis, the Championship club are looking for their fifth permanent boss in little more than four years. Swansea wasted little time in dismissing Sheehan after fans called for his head following a heavy home defeat by Ipswich Town and are keen to be swift once more as they seek a replacement."
"Kim Hellberg has emerged as the favourite to take the reins from Sheehan having been a leading contender the job in the spring. Then director of football Richard Montague spoke to a number of potential managers after Luke Williams' departure in February, with Hellberg believed to be one who impressed. The 37-year-old Swede is firmly in the frame again now."
Swansea City dismissed Alan Sheehan six months after his full-time appointment and are searching for a new manager, their fifth permanent boss in just over four years. Fans called for his removal following a heavy home defeat by Ipswich Town, prompting swift action from the club. Chief executive Tom Gorringe and global head of analytics and recruitment Adam Worth are leading the recruitment alongside owners Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen. No successor was chosen before Monday meetings ended Sheehan's tenure. Kim Hellberg, a 37-year-old Swede known for attractive football and success at Hammarby, has emerged as the bookmakers' favourite, though Championship experience is noted as a possible concern.
