DAN ALTMAN has stepped down from his controversial role as Senior Adviser for Football Operations at Swansea City after almost two years.

The American, who is a Harvard graduate with a PhD in economics, was brought in by Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien following their takeover of the Welsh club.

He acted as a ‘final filter’ on transfers, with Kaplan explaining, “What analytics allow us to do is have another check, another thing to look at to try and ensure we are not making a mistake. Mistakes are too costly for a club like ours.”
