Swansea City have confirmed the departure of Francesco Guidolin after 8 months as manager.

In a statement released on the club's official website, Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins said: “We are obviously disappointed to part company with Francesco.

“We felt he deserved his opportunity after the work he did last season. Unfortunately we have not been able to carry performances over from last season and we felt we needed to change things as soon as possible in order to move forward in a positive way.
