Swansea have announced the sacking of their manager Garry Monk.
Speculations about his sack have been going round following a string of poor results.
After last week home loss to Leicester City, the club have decided to part ways with their former captain.
"The decision has been made very reluctantly and with a heavy heart," the club statement read.
"To
find ourselves in our current situation from where we were in the first
week of September, and considering the drop of performance levels and
run of results over the last three months, it has brought us to this
unfortunate decision today.

"Garry took on
the job 22 months ago with the backing of everyone at the club. And when
you take into account the excellent campaign we had last season when we
broke all club records in the Premier League, nobody foresaw the
position we would be in at this moment in time.
"Bearing that in mind and the current uncertainty around the club, we felt the situation needed clarity to move forward.
"It
was not a decision we took lightly, especially given Garry's history
and standing within the club. And it goes without saying that we wish
Garry all the very best for the future and thank him for his tremendous
service, not only as a player over the last decade, but also as our
manager. He will always have a warm welcome at this football club.
"We hope to appoint a replacement as soon as possible."
