Swansea wrong to overlook Giggs - Sutton

Swansea were wrong to hire ex-United States boss Bob Bradley over former Manchester United player and coach Ryan Giggs, BBC pundit Chris Sutton says.

Bradley replaces Italian Francesco Guidolin, who was sacked on Monday.

The 58-year-old is the first American to manage in the Premier League, while former Wales winger Giggs - and ex-Hull boss Steve Bruce - are out of work.

"Is Bob Bradley better qualified than Steve Bruce and Ryan Giggs to get this job? I don't think so," Sutton said.

"They've got American owners now and that's essentially why he's got the job.
