FLASH: The head coach of Coventry city has announced today his….
Swansea City interim boss Alan Sheehan is set to take charge of Friday’s clash with Coventry City, with the club’s managerial search continuing to rumble on.
Sheehan has been in temporary charge since Michael Duff was dismissed from his post at the start of the month, and has overseen the last five games, the latest being the 5-0 defeat at Southampton on Boxing Day. So, far, his record stands at two wins, two defeats and one draw.
Swansea City interim boss Alan Sheehan admits his side’s humiliation at Southampton on Boxing Day was ‘unacceptable’, and insists he understands the frustrations of fans as their search for a full-time boss continues to drag on.
Having overseen the last four games, Sheehan was once again in the dugout in Hampshire, and watched on as his side were ruthlessly torn apart by Russell Martin’s Saints.
The manner of this defeat felt particularly damaging. Not just for Sheehan’s own prospects of getting the job long-term, but also for an ownership that once again found itself under the spotlight on the back of Martin’s pre-match comments.
We came here with the intention of going toe-to-toe against one of the best teams in the league,” Sheehan said after the game.
“We wanted to be brave and on the front foot. For large amounts of the first half we were massively in the game. Second goal kills us. Individual mistakes, which happens. Then the third goal was the same.
