Swansea City’s season could be about to go from bad to worse, as reports have suggested that the club’s Assistant Manager Pep Clotet is to take over the managerial role at Championship side Brentford.

With the Welsh side struggling for form this season, Garry Monk has been scrutinised and at times his position has been questioned, being made odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked. Swansea sit 14th in the Premier League with just three wins from a possible 12 and without a victory since October.

Clotet, who at 38-years-old is relatively young in the managerial sense, has his whole career ahead of him and is being targeted by ambitious Brentford owner Matthew Benham

If the Swans do lose Clotet to the Premier League hopefuls, the favourite to replace the Spaniard is former Liverpool assistant Colin Pascoe, who was relieved of his duties at Liverpool during the summer – prior to Brendan Rodgers’ sacking.
