Report: Swansea City to hold talks with Marcelo Bielsa over vacancy

By , Staff Reporter
Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins reportedly jets overseas to hold talks with former Athletic Bilbao boss Marcelo Bielsa regarding the managerial vacancy.

Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has reportedly flown overseas to hold talks with former Athletic Bilbao boss Marcelo Bielsa.

The Premier League club are in the hunt for a new boss after they opted to sack Garry Monk last week.

According to Wales Online, Jenkins has jetted out of the country to hold talks with various coaches, and Bielsa is a serious contender.

The report adds that former Sunderland boss Gus Poyet, who is now in charge of AEK Athens, is no longer on the radar, but will be considered should talks with other candidates not progress.

The Welsh outfit are believed to be keen on making a swift appointment.
