Carlos Carvalhal's tenure as Swansea manager looks to be overLast Updated: 10/05/18 1:18pm
Sky Sports News understands Carlos Carvalhal will not be given the opportunity to manage Swansea beyond his current contract. Sky Sports News understands there is a growing belief behind the scenes at the Liberty Stadium that Carvalhal is not the man to lead the fight to return to the Premier League at the first attempt should Swansea's relegation be confirmed on Sunday.
After a terrific start to his time in charge, beating Arsenal, West Ham and Liverpool, results and performances nose-dived, with concerns behind the scenes that his tactics turned overly defensive too quickly when the team had picked up significant momentum.
No official decision has been taken with the club maintaining an option to extend the Portuguese's contract for a further 12 months.
Swansea must beat Stoke on Sunday and see Southampton lose to Manchester City and overturn a nine-goal goal difference to pull off a highly unlikely survival on the final day of the season.
In 24 matches in charge of Swansea, Carvalhal has overseen eight victories - including three in the FA Cup - eight losses and eight draws but his team have not scored in six of their last eight games in all competitions.
Since beating relegation rivals West Ham 4-1 at the beginning of March, Swansea have picked up two points - draws against West Brom and Everton - in seven Premier League matches.
