OFFICIAL: Swansea sack Guidolin and appoint Bradley

The Italian has become the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season and the club have acted quickly to replace him with the former United States manager

Swansea City have sacked manager Francesco Guidolin on the day of his 61st birthday and replaced him with former United States national team boss Bob Bradley.

Guidolin has only been in charge of the Welsh side since January and is removed from his position after picking up just four points in the first seven games of this season's Premier League.

The Italian's last game in charge was Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool, where he saw Swansea lose a first-half lead.
