Bob Bradley insists focus on his use of American terminology did not interfere with his work as Swansea boss, while adding he "received no xenophobia" from anyone involved with the club at all.
Bradley became the first American to manage in the Premier League when the Swans appointed him at the start of October, but his stay lasted only 85 days before he was sacked on Tuesday evening, after only two wins in 11 games in charge.
The 58-year-old was ridiculed for his use of Americanisms and after he referred to a penalty kick as 'PK' and playing away from home as a 'road game' in the wake of a 3-0 defeat at Middlesbrough, it was used as a stick to beat him with.
