CARETAKER HEAD COACH - ALAN SHEEHAN

Alan Sheehan joined Swansea City as assistant head coach in June 2023, taking up the position within Michael Duff's coaching staff.

Sheehan, 38, who has held first-team coaching positions at Luton Town and Southampton, enjoyed a lengthy playing career that saw him feature for Leicester, Mansfield, Leeds, Crewe, Oldham, Swindon, Notts County, Bradford, Peterborough, Luton, Lincoln and Northampton.

The former left-back also won five caps for the Republic of Ireland Under-21s, and held a player-coach role with Oldham before his move into full-time coaching with Luton in 2022.

He became caretaker head coach when Duff left the club in December 2023 and led the side tremendously well to take 11 points from a possible 21 during a congested schedule prior to Luke Williams' appointment as head coach in January 2024.

Williams' arrival saw Sheehan revert to his position of assistant head coach, before having a second spell as caretaker boss, starting in February 2025.

HEAD OF GOALKEEPING - MARTYN MARGETSON

Martyn Margetson rejoined Swansea City as head of goalkeeping in July 2023.

Margetson was previously on the club’s coaching staff between 2019 and 2021 and took up a position as part of Michael Duff’s new-look backroom team, remaining in place following Luke Williams' appointment.

He is currently goalkeeping coach in Gareth Southgate’s England set-up, where he has helped the Three Lions reach the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the Euro 2020 final.

Margetson hails from Port Talbot and started his playing career with Manchester City, joining their youth system in 1988.

He went on to make 60 first-team appearances for the Maine Road side, while also having spells with Bristol Rovers, Bolton, Luton Town, Southend, Huddersfield and Cardiff, becoming player-coach at the latter and moving into a goalkeeping coach position after hanging up his gloves in 2007.

Margetson, who was capped by his country against Canada in 2004, went on to join the Wales national set-up to work with Gary Speed in 2011.

He remained involved under Chris Coleman as the Dragons enjoyed an unforgettable run to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.

Margetson then made the switch to England in August 2016, initially working under Sam Allardyce and then remaining in Southgate’s backroom team.

At club level, he moved to West Ham in 2014, before returning to Cardiff. He has since worked at Crystal Palace, Everton and Swansea.

Margetson combines his ongoing England duties with his position in Swansea's coaching team, and signed a new three-year contract with the Swans in the summer of 2024.

FIRST-TEAM COACH - KRIS O'LEARY

Kris O’Leary joined the Swansea City first-team coaching staff ahead of the 2022-23 season, and remained in place under Michael Duff and Luke Williams.

The 45-year-old took on the position of first-team coach, having held the role on an interim basis over the final months of the 2021-22 campaign, in addition to his responsibilities with the Swansea under-23 squad.

It continued the former midfielder’s lengthy relationship with his boyhood club.

O’Leary played 334 games for the club over a 15-year spell, winning three promotions during his time at both the Vetch Field and Swansea.com Stadium.

The former midfielder had previously coached in the club’s academy as well as in the first-team setup; O’Leary was part of Garry Monk’s coaching staff during the 2014-15 season which saw the club finish eighth in the Premier League.

FIRST TEAM COACH - MARK FOTHERINGHAM

Fotheringham joined the Swans in March 2025 as he took a place on Alan Sheehan's coaching staff for the conclusion of the 2024-25 season.

The Scot began his playing career with Celtic and later played for the likes of Dundee, Norwich City, Fulham, plus several other clubs across Scotland, England, Germany and Switzerland before hanging up his boots. 

He went on to coach in Germany working as an assistant at Karlsruher SC and Ingolstadt, and held the same position under his old Fulham boss Felix Magath at Hertha Berlin. Fotheringham went on to manage Huddersfield Town at Championship level, and has most recently worked under Jurgen Klinsmann with the South Korea national team.   

FIRST TEAM COACH - RICHARD STEARMAN

Like Fotheringham, Stearman joined Swansea City in March 2025.

Stearman started his professional career alongside Sheehan at Leicester City and went on to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham, Sheffield United and Derby County. In a career taking in just shy of 500 league appearances, he featured 77 times in the Premier League.  

He has recently transitioned into coaching, and was serving as the assistant manager at Solihull Moors before joining the Swans.
