Francesco Guidolin fighting to keep Swansea job after just nine months in charge

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin is under pressure to keep his job — just nine months after his appointment.

The Swansea board are already reviewing the Italian’s position at the Liberty Stadium, just five games into the new season, as a host of in-house issues threaten to derail their campaign.

Guidolin, 60, is said to have a strained relationship with his squad — a theme underlined by his spats with Neil Taylor and Ki Sung-yueng this season.
