Alan Sheehan: Swansea City future talks will end next week, says caretaker boss

Alan Sheehan says his future will be decided next week as he continues negotiations over a deal to become Swansea City’s permanent head coach.

Sheehan, 38, has enjoyed a positive spell as caretaker boss since taking the reins following the departure of Luke Williams in February.

Swansea have taken time to consider their managerial options, but have now decided Sheehan is the man to lead the Championship club next season.

BBC Sport Wales reported on Friday that discussions over a long-term contract had begun.

Speaking after defeat at Millwall on Saturday, Sheehan said: “I can confirm that we have been talking for a bit, Richard [Montague, Swansea’s director of football] and the ownership.

“It’s moving in a direction and we should have had a conclusion to it all next week.”
