Swansea have sacked manager Luke Williams after a dismal run of form in the Championship.
The Swans have won just one of their last 10 games in all competitions, with a defeat to Stoke on Saturday leaving them eight points above the relegation zone.
Alan Sheehan has been put in interim charge, with assistant head coach Ryan Harley and first-team coach analyst George Lawtey also leaving the club.
“I am aware of the effort he and his staff have put in throughout the last 13 months for Swansea City. I want to personally thank Luke, Ryan and George for their dedication and the sacrifices they have made on behalf of the club.
Swansea City can confirm the club has parted ways with head coach Luke Williams.

“Unfortunately, since the turn of the year our performances and results have not been of the standard required at this level. Ultimately, that has led us to conclude a change is required in order to bring about an improvement in our showings on the pitch.
“We will keep supporters informed of developments when we are in a position to announce a new head coach, while Alan, his staff and our squad focus on our upcoming fixtures.”
Williams lasted 13 months in the role after replacing Michael Duff in January last year. Swansea finished 14th in the Championship last season.
Though there have been no concrete reports over Swansea’s next manager, former boss Russell Martin has been linked with a return to South Wales, while former Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is also said to be in the running.
Swansea have postponed their official fans’ forum this week following Williams’ dismissal.
