Sacked Swansea manager Bob Bradley admitted he was ‘p****** off’ by his dismissal after only 85 days, with the Welsh club now weighing up approaches to Chris Coleman and Ryan Giggs to replace him.
Sportsmail understands the former Wales team-mates are prominently placed on the long-list to succeed the American, who departed on Tuesday with the club swamped in relegation trouble.
They are joined by fringe contenders Gary Rowett, Nigel Pearson, Paul Clement, Frank de Boer and Roy Hodgson, while Harry Redknapp has also declared his interest in the role.
But it is Coleman and Giggs who are currently the leading contenders.
