Swansea hold talks with former USA boss Bob Bradley to replace Francesco Guidolin as manager
Ryan Giggs remains an option but lack of managerial experience is a cause for concern
BOB BRADLEY has had talks with Swansea supremo Huw Jenkins about becoming the Welsh club’s new manager.
The American flew in for a top-secret meeting with Jenkins and is top of the wanted list of the investors who are now backing Swans – as we revealed yesterday.
Bradley is currently coaching French side Le Havre but has long wanted a crack at the Premier League and has powerful backers.
However there seems to be a split in the camp about who to offer the job to as Jenkins is keen on the idea of Ryan Giggs making his managerial debut in his homeland.
Francesco Guidolin is limping along in the job just now while the Swansea factions think over who is his best replacement.
Giggs is keen on the post as he looks for a return to football management after leaving Manchester United.
The American money men are concerned about his lack of experience as a number one and the fact that Jenkins has now met Bradley suggests they are winning the argument.
Bradley made his name when he was appointed manager of the USA national team and enjoyed immediate success when his side beat Mexico in the 2007 Gold Cup final.
The 58-year-old later took USA to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and ended up topping the group ahead of England before being knocked out to Ghana after extra-time.
