It is with great sadness and regret that I have left my position as Head Coach of Swansea City AFC.

I would like to thank the majority owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien for the opportunity to lead the team for the past 12 months as well as the Supporters Trust and the many loyal fans of the Club.

When I arrived at Swansea City on the 3rd of January, the team had 12 points and were bottom of the league. Together we managed to achieve 29 points in 19 games, culminating in a 15th place finish and ensuring the Club would compete in the Premier League for a 7th consecutive year. It was by far my proudest and greatest achievement as a Coach.

However, this season, in very challenging circumstances I was unable to replicate the positive results.

Behind the scenes I worked with some great people. I enjoyed a very positive relationship with the Chairman Huw Jenkins who I know cares deeply about the Football Club.

I thank the Players for their efforts and wish them the all best for the future.

I now look forward to my next challenge in football management.

Good luck Swansea City AFC.

Paul
