Bob Bradley has been sacked by Swansea City after just 11 games in charge of the Premier League club.
Swansea's American owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien, after talks with the former U.S. national team coach and club chairman Huw Jenkins on Tuesday, decided to act in the wake of a 4-1 home defeat to West Ham on Boxing Day.
Sources close to the Swansea owners told ESPN FC that the decision to part company with Bradley, the first American to manage a Premier League team, was made with "great reluctance" because of a determination for the appointment to work.
