Alan Sheehan appointed head coach of Swansea City
Swansea City AFC is delighted to announce that Alan Sheehan has been appointed as the new head coach of the football club, following a highly successful spell as caretaker head coach.
Under Sheehan's leadership, the team has picked up an impressive 23 points out of a possible 36, including a remarkable run of five consecutive wins.
Sheehan, who initially took on the caretaker role after Luke Williams' departure in mid-February, has led Swansea City from 17th in the Championship to a guaranteed top-half finish. During this time the team stabilised delivering consistent performances, ensuring the Swans' safety and competitiveness in the league.
Director of Football, Richard Montague, said: "We've been very impressed with Alan since he's taken over as caretaker head coach for a second time. It was important that we carried out a thorough and detailed process for appointing our new head coach. We had to get this decision right, and we are very happy with the work that’s been done and confident that we've picked the best head coach to take our club to the next level."
Tom Gorringe, Swansea City's CEO, added: "Alan has shown strong leadership and tactical acumen during his time as caretaker head coach. Collectively, we believe he is the right person to take Swansea City forward and build on the progress that we've made towards the end of this season. We’re excited and optimistic about what we can achieve together."
Sheehan has signed a three-year deal and his backroom staff will be agreed and shared in due course as Swansea City prepares to conclude the season. The Swans will finish their campaign with a home game against Oxford United on Saturday, May 3, with a 12:30 pm kick-off.
