Bielsa to Swansea

[peekay]

Would be a very very interesting appointment if they pull it off.

Marcelo Bielsa has emerged as the favourite to succeed Garry Monk, with the search for a manager taking the Swansea chairman, Huw Jenkins, to South America.

The former Argentina coach is a surprise contender to succeed Monk, who was sacked last week after a run of one win in 11 games, and is now set to hold talks with Jenkins.

The 60-year-old quit as the Marseille coach only one match into the season, following a 1-0 home defeat to Caen, and his dramatic resignation fitted his volatile reputation and his nickname of El Loco.

Doesnt sound like the type of manager that Jenkins would want at Swansea

 

[Judge Jules]

I wonder. His teams do play the kind of attacking football which Swansea insist on, and that'll weigh heavily in Jenkins' decision.

Interested to see how he performs.
