Swansea manager, Garry Monk has been relieved of his
duties as coach of the team following a dismal performance of one win
in 11 Premier League games, the club announced today December 9.
The 36-year-old manager led Swansea to an eighth-place
finish last season but has paid the ultimate price for the club’s woeful
performance in the English Premier League this season, which has left
Swansea with just a point above the
relegation zone.
The club chairman Huw Jenkins in a statement said: “The decision has been made very reluctantly and with a heavy heart.”
“To find ourselves in our current situation from where we were in
the first week of September, and considering the drop of performance
levels and run of results over the last three months, it has brought us
to this unfortunate decision today.”
Swansea have managed only one point since winning 2-1 at Aston Villa on October 24.
The Swans began the 2015/2016 campaign strongly, drawing 2-2 at
Chelsea and beating United 2-1, but their form has since fallen away
drastically.
“It was not a decision we took lightly, especially given Garry’s history and standing within the club,” Jenkins added.
“And it goes without saying that we wish Garry all the very best
for the future and thank him for his tremendous service, not only as a
player over the last decade, but also as our manager.
“He will always have a warm welcome at this football club. We hope to appoint a replacement as soon as possible.”
Brendan Rodgers and David Moyes who was recently sacked at Real Sociedad are potential successors to Monk.
