THE SWANS CASTING THEIR NET FAR AND WIDE
Interesting...
Michael Appleton talking to #Swans about manager's job today. Obviously not on his own as a candidate. Club keen (obviously) to get the right man.
Obviously they want to get the right man before he puts ‘pen’ to paper so they don’t ‘cob’ a wrong one who turns out to be an ‘ugly duckling’

New manager incoming
Middlesbrough are close to announcing Jonathan Woodgate as their new manager.
The former Boro and England defender has been among the bookmakers’ favourites to succeed Tony Pulis, under whom he worked as first-team coach last season, since the Welshman’s departure at the end of the campaign.
It’s understood that chairman Steve Gibson is ready to appoint the 39-year-old, and the club is currently engaged in the process of putting together his coaching staff.
Woodgate made a total of 112 appearances for his home-town club in two spells and ended his playing career there in 2016.

Oldham Athletic have appointed Laurent Banide as their new head coach on a one-year deal. (No, me neither!)
The Latics have been without a manager since former Manchester United and England midfielder Paul Scholes left after just 31 days in March, with Pete Wild taking temporary charge.
The former Monaco boss was most recently in charge of Umm Salal in Qatar. (I'm still none the wiser!)

😱 SHOCK, HORROR 😱 WHO SAW THIS ONE COMING?
Maurizio Sarri has left Chelsea to become manager of Serie A champions Juventus on a three-year deal.
Sarri, who joined the Blues from Napoli in July 2018, led them to third in the Premier League and won the Europa League in his one season in charge.
It is understood a compensation fee in excess of £5m has been agreed between the two clubs for the 60-year-old.
Sarri will replace fellow Italian Massimiliano Allegri, who left Juventus at the end of last season.
"In talks we had following the Europa League final, Maurizio made it clear how strongly he desired to return to his native country, explaining that his reasons for wanting to return to work in Italy were significant," said Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia.
FRANK LAMPARD, COME ON DOWN.
