Swansea news: Bob Bradley fears disastrous spell could be the end of American managers in the Premier League

Bob Bradley fears his Swansea departure will damage the future prospects of Americans managing in the Premier League.

Bradley became the first American to manage in England's top flight when Swansea appointed him at the start of October.

But the former United States boss lasted only 85 days before he was sacked on Tuesday evening, with Swansea winning only two of his 11 games in charge and conceding 29 goals in the process.
