Carlos Carvalhal will not be in charge of Swansea City next season after failing to keep them in the Premier League, Sportsmail can reveal.

The Welsh club have effectively been relegated following Huddersfield's draw at Chelsea on Wednesday night and Swansea are planning major changes.

Sportsmail understands that they include not renewing the manager's short-term deal, which expires at the end of the season.

Sportsmail can also reveal that Michael Laudrup was considered for an extraordinary return to the club prior to Carvalhal's arrival. The Dane, who won the League Cup with Swansea in 2013, was unable to leave Qatari club Al Rayyan at the time.

Carvalhal's spell at Swansea has been dramatic, with the Portuguese arriving at the Liberty Stadium in December and quickly leading the club out of the bottom three. However, a failure to win any of their final eight league games has them fall feebly back into the drop zone.

Allied with negative tactics and a woeful lack of goals, Swansea's fate will be sealed on Sunday barring a mathematical miracle.

The 52-year-old's left-field appointment, which came four days after he was sacked by Sheffield Wednesday, initially included an option for an extension and was considered a sign that Swansea were preparing for Championship football, given the second tier is where he has enjoyed success.

But unless there is a major change of heart from Swansea's powerbrokers, that will not now happen.

The development comes after Laudrup's agent Bayram Tutumlu revealed they tried to reunite with the Denmark legend in December.

Tutumlu told Sportsmail: 'Huw Jenkins (the chairman) asked me about Michael but Michael could not leave his club. Swansea has a very good relationship with Michael and Michael did many great things there.

'He could not come back. It was before they took Carvalhal.'

It has been revealed too that ex-Swansea boss Michael Laudrup was wanted by the club again
