Michael Laudrup sacked as Swansea City manager
After a run of poor results Swansea City have parted ways with manager Michael Laudrup. Swansea's board must have lost patients with their Danish manager following a series of events this season that have caused them to question their manager's commitment to the course. At the start of the season a dispute concerning his agent nearly resulted in the manager leaving the Welsh club. During the season there have been rumours of dressing room unease and training ground bust ups that are said to be the result of Laudrup's apparent disinterest.
Jenkins said that the club would now be able to "move forward as a united football club on all fronts" and urged the club's supporters to "behind Garry Monk, the staff and players." Monk, the club's captain, will be in charge on an interim basis and will be assisted by coach Alan Curtis.
Laudrup leaves the club 12th in the Premier League and just 2 points from the relegation zone.
