Garry Monk will remain as Swansea City manager despite recent reports claiming that Huw Jenkins would be sacking him this week, says the Evening Post.

Reports from various news outlets last night said that Monk would be relieved of his duties at the Liberty Stadium, however today’s newest twist is that the former-Swansea captain has the backing of the Swansea board.

Monk knows that results need to improve, and he’ll be working his hardest to get three points against Bournemouth in two weeks time.

The Swans have only won one game since August, with very disappointing losses to Watford, Hull, Stoke, Southampton and Norwich in the meantime. Swansea’s dip in form has now seen the club slide from the top-four to fourteenth in the Premier League table.

After last season’s success, many Swansea fans would have been upset to see the board sack Monk after a rough patch. Although, there are now many relieved faces in South Wales with many of them fully behind Monk as the Swans coach.
