#4 Bob Bradley pays the price for heavy defeat

Bradley was ousted after just 11 games at the helm

After just over 80 days in charge of Swansea, Bob Bradley was shown the door by the Welsh outfit. Bradley was at the helm for only 11 games but two wins and two draws were not enough to secure his job for long.

The Swans were thrashed 4-1 by a rejuvenated West Ham side, who have now won all of their last three games. Defending has been a major concern for Swansea this season, especially after losing their captain and experienced centre-back Ashley Williams to Everton.

Bradley was unfortunate not to be given the liberty to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window, with many claiming the sack came too early. It is the second time this season that Swansea will be in the market for a new manager.

Former Welsh international Ryan Giggs is considered to be among the favourites to replace the American, even though the decorated midfielder has relatively no experience in management.
