Former USA coach Bob Bradley has emerged as a rival to Ryan Giggs as Swansea edge closer to making a managerial change.
Francesco Guidolin is expected to be sacked if the Welsh club flop against Liverpool on Saturday having won only once in the Premier League this season.
Sources close to the club’s American owners have maintained over the past fortnight that Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan do not want to make a quick change, but the situation is now understood to have reached the point where defeat and a poor performance against Liverpool would likely be the catalyst for a change.
