Bob Bradley insists he was not nicknamed 'Ronald Reagan' by Swansea players during his troubled reign at the Premier League strugglers.
The American was sacked by the Welsh club last month after winning only twice in 11 matches.
And his replacement, former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich assistant Paul Clement, oversaw victory in his first game in charge away at Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.
Sportsmail reported in December that Bradley was mocked by members of the Swansea staff during the closing stages of his ill-fated managerial reign, and privately given the nickname 'Ronald Reagan'.
