Guidolin has been replaced by Bradley, an American and a former coach of US, Egypt national team coach and also managed Norwegian side Stabaek.

Bradley left French second-tier team Le Havre to succeed Guidolin, who was appointed in January, 2016.

The club's hierarchy spoke to several potential candidates, including former Wales captain Ryan Giggs.

American Bradley, 58, will take over a Swansea side who have lost their past three league matches and find themselves above the relegation zone only on goal difference.

Guidolin has been under intense pressure which was increased by Saturday's '2-1 home defeat by Liverpool' and his sacking was announced on his 61st birthday on Monday.

Bradley will resume duty with immediate effect in order to familiarize with the players and prepare for next premiership match.

Swansea will be travelling to the emirates to face the Gunners and will be a tough one for the newly appointed American coach.
