Swansea parts company with Monk

Swansea City has parted company with manager Garry Monk following the team's poor run of form in the Premier League.

Garry Monk has parted company with Swansea City after a dismal run of form that has left the Welsh club perilously close to the Premier League relegation zone.

Swansea was beaten 3-0at home by high-flying Leicester City on Saturday, meaning it has won only one of its last 11 top-flight fixtures and sits just one point clear of danger.

And former club captain Monk has paid the price for their woeful recent results, with a Swansea statement released on Wednesday confirming the 36-year-old's departure.
