Leon Britton Named Swansea Caretaker Manager
Swansea City has appointed Leon Britton as caretaker manager following the sack of Paul Clement after a run of four defeats in five left them at the bottom of the English Premier League with just 12 points from 18 games.
Britton will take temporary control of Swan’s first-team affairs while the club continues its search for a replacement for Paul Clement, who parted company with the club last night along with assistants Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi.

Swansea confirmed in a statement on the club website on Thursday.
“Britton, who stepped into a player-coaching role last month after 15 years at the club, will be assisted by under-23 coaches Gary Richards and Cameron Toshack. Goalkeeping coach Tony Roberts will also continue to assist.
“The quartet took training this morning and Britton will face the media at 1pm this afternoon live on this website.
“Further details on the managerial search will follow for supporters in due course,” read the statement.
