  • Swansea have named Graham Potter as their new manager.

    Potter, 43, has signed a three-year contract after leaving Swedish club Ostersunds and will bid to guide the recently-relegated Welsh club back to the Premier League.

    “Swansea City are delighted to announce that Graham Potter has been appointed as the club’s new manager,” read a club statement on their official website.

    “Potter has (on Monday) signed a three-year contract at the Liberty Stadium after leaving Swedish club Ostersunds to take charge of the Swans.”

    Swansea’s seven-year stay in the Premier League came to an end last month after three seasons of turmoil at the club. Portugal’s Carlos Carvalhal was in charge when they went down.

    Ostersunds boss Potter is set to become Swansea’s sixth manager in four years amid a backdrop of fans’ unrest with the board.

    Potter, who played for Stoke and West Brom, took over at Ostersunds in December 2010 and has guided them from the fourth to the top tier in Sweden.

    Ostersunds won the Swedish Cup in 2017 to qualify for this season’s Europa League, reaching the last 32 before losing 4-2 on aggregate to Arsenal.
