Laudrup is a part of the past in Swansea, and Garry Monk have taken over for now. However, Swansea are looking for a new manager for the long run; Great Dane Football Blog takes a look on five prospects.










5. Garry Monk

The defender - and now manager - have spent a lifetime in Swansea, and could well keep the job after this season. Especially if he manages to keep the Swans out of the relegation. However, it speaks against Monk that he is/has been a part of the squad as he can get too familiar with the players. Furthermore, he has no managing experience, but, again, if he manages to keep the club in the Premier League he has a good chance of staying as manager.

4. Marcel Desailly

The former Chelsea defender and World Cup and Euro winner has been linked with Swansea after Laudrup's exit. The 45-year old Ghana born French ended his career in Qatar SC in 2006 and have not had any manager jobs so far. Instead, he has been working for several media and charities the last couple of years. Swansea could be a good start of his managing career, but as with Garry Monk, it speaks against the French that he has no managing experience. That said, he has a lot of routine from playing and is rated as one of the legends in football. 

3. Oscar Garcia

The Brighton and Hove Albion manager has been linked with Swansea and is by some media seen as a man that can bring Nou Camp to South Wales. The 40-year old Spanish manager has a past in Israel football where he managed Maccabi Tel Aviv, as well as a past as youth coach in Barcelona. It speaks for Garcia that he is Spanish, considering the amount of Spanish players in Swansea. To add to that, his way of playing football suits the players in the current squad. However, it can be a problem that he just signed with Brighton last summer.

2. Luis Enrique

The former Barcelona and Real Madrid player has been managing since 2008, where he started with Barcelona B. Since then he has been manager of Roma and is currently in Celta Vigo since last year. Like with Oscar Garcia, it speaks for him that he is Spanish and his way of football suits the current squad. Furthermore, he is a big name in Spain why he might be able to attract players. But, as with Garcia, Enrique only just signed with Celta Vigo last summer.

1. Glenn Hoodle

The former England manager was sounded about the job three months ago, but would not be involved as long as Laudrup was the manager. The former Tottenham and Chelsea midfielder and manager is an obvious choice for Swansea, given his knowledge of the Premier League. However, the league has changed since Hoodle was in charge of a PL club. Furthermore, Hoodles style might not match the players in Swansea as the squads is now.
