Swansea City can confirm that the club has parted company with manager Francesco Guidolin.
He will be replaced by former USA national team manager Bob Bradley with the club having agreed his release from French club Le Havre after their fixture with Sochaux tonight.



An American managing in the EPL!!! Swansea City are currently sitting at 17th - 1 above relegation.

I'd avoid any euro-based commentary of the news of you want to keep your sanity.

Hope Bob crushes it. **** the haters

Yeah, they're melting down over there. Apparently having a Yank coach is some unfathomable move (in their defense, Bradley is the first American to coach at this level).

Hope he kills it and makes the limey *******s eat their words.

My favorite thus far is the opinion that Giggs is the better option because he played 950 some games with Man United and that Bradley only got the job because of Swansea's American owners.

I'm sure that last part probably had an influence but no way Giggs is more qualified.

Me too. Hopefully he can garner some respect, albeit doubtful, for american coaches overseas.

Not likely to happen, given the optics. However, maybe someone like Boyd, Rubino or Miyazga may get some interest during the transfer window (not sure how that would work with Miyazga's current loan to Vitesse).

Read this first topic in this link. You'll get an English defense of Bradley over Giggs in response to an English dismissal of Bradley. Sums it up quite well in my opinion.

Good article. I was also pleasantly surprised that a lot of norwegian fans (not even all stebaek fans) showed up to defend him.

Rosenborg fan
Molde fan
Stabaek fan

Of course they were largely overshadowed by the mass contingent of brits moaning like the pundits in the article linked above, which goes to show that just because your country invented the game doesn't mean you know **** about it.

Pretty good summary of the anti-American Euro bias.

That was fun. Home against Watford (or is it WBA?) will be a better measure.
