Despite putting the final nail in Bob Bradley’s coffin with a 4-1 victory at the Liberty Stadium, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has let rip on Swansea for sacking the American after just 11 games in charge.
Bradley was the first American to be hired to manage a Premier League team, and his term lasted 85 days.
Monday’s 4-1 home defeat by West Ham was Swans’ seventh in 11 games since Bradley took over on October 3 and leaves them on 12 points, above bottom club Hull on goal difference.
Pardew was recently sacked from Crystal Palace. The 46-year-old has worked wonders with the Welsh national team in recent years, as he not only guided them to Euro 2016, but also took them to the semi-finals of the competition.
85 days – that is how long it took for Swansea City’s United States owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien to decide that their courageous appointment of compatriot Bob Bradley had been a disastrous mistake. Now impressing with Celtic having won 18 of 19 league games, Rodgers is rebuilding his reputation having lost his job at Liverpool past year, and Swansea would certainly welcome him back having won 44.8% of his games in his first spell with the club.
The former Manchester United midfielder, whose management history spans four matches at the end of the 2013/14 season after David Moyes was sacked, has been installed as the very for near-enough every job that has come up this season in the Premier League and Championship. Los Angeles FC is looking for their first manager and Bob Bradley would be an excellent first choice.
“You’ve got the January transfer window coming up and you can pick up a couple of players and strengthen the squad a bit”.
However, Bradley’s permanent successor is not expected to take charge before they host Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve. He is a good coach with a good record who chooses his jobs bravely.
Former Wales worldwide Danny Gabbidon believes Ryan Giggs may not be the right man to replace Bob Bradley at the Liberty Stadium.
He had replaced Francesco Guidolin earlier in the season but now the Swans are hunting for a new boss.
No, this outcome has more to do with a team that was already in trouble before Bradley arrived, with a weaker roster than in previous seasons. Swansea showed promise in his opening game in charge as they fell to a hard fought 3-2 defeat at Arsenal.
Sounds just like Bradley’s work ethic as MetroStars coach during his tenure in 2003-05.
Speaking to Press Association Sport before his dismissal, Bradley feared Premier League clubs would be dissuaded from appointing American managers in future were he to fail at Swansea.
Those predicting that Rowett, who won 42 of his 106 matches in the West Midlands, is a good bet to reach the Premier League before Birmingham are probably correct. And in the case of the Premier League, big money. Now we have younger coaches emerging in MLS, like Caleb Porter, Jesse Marsch, Ben Olsen, you could include our own Oscar Pareja in that, as a Colombian who has come up through the American system.
