Swansea appear to have missed out on their number one managerial target Chris Coleman as Alan Curtis prepares to take charge of team affairs on a "game-by-game basis".
Wales boss Coleman was the man identified by Swansea to save their season following the sacking of Bob Bradley on Tuesday.
It would have been an emotional return for Coleman, as he was born in the city and played nearly 200 games for his home town club at the start of his career.
The 46-year-old also recently received the freedom of Swansea to honour his achievement in guiding Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 last summer.
