Swansea Settle On Curtis

Looks Up For It

Swansea have a new manager! Sort of. They have officially named Alan Curtis as the man to stay in charge of the struggling side until the end of the season. Which in no way indicates the sacking of Garry Monk was premature.

According to the club’s site, Curtis said “If the club believes I am the right man to take things forward then I will give everything I have to the role.” It is unconfirmed whether he was or was not giving his all when he still thought he was in managerial limbo.
Curtis has overseen 5 matches and taken 5 points. Which sounds grim, but it’s as many points as the Welsh side managed in the 7 games leading up to Monk’s dismissal.

Swansea’s defence has shored up under Curtis. They have managed 3 clean sheets in those 5 matches, more than they’d had in their previous 15 games this season.

The Swans currently sit 2 points above the relegation zone and will travel to Oxford United in their 3rd round FA Cup match this weekend.
