Swansea City have confirmed that they have parted company with manager Francesco Guidolin.

Former United States national team coach Bob Bradley has been named as his replacement - Swansea City's fourth manager in the space of a year.

Former Udinese boss Guidolin joined Swansea in January as head coach and was given a two-year contract in May.

Ryan Giggs and Gianfranco Zola were among those to have been linked with the Swansea job.

Bradley has been working at French club Le Havre in Ligue 2.

Swansea's only wins this season were at Burnley on the opening day of the Premier League season and against Peterborough in the EFL Cup.

Manchester City and Liverpool have beaten the Swans in successive weeks and they travel to Arsenal on October 15, following the international break.

We are looking at a long-term appointment and we are confident Bob can settle us down and stabilise matters on and off the pitch.

– Huw Jenkins, Swansea City chairman
