Swansea City want Brendan Rodgers back as manager when Garry Monk is sacked- Swansea could call time on manager Garry Monk as soon as Tuesday
- Members of the board want to bring back former boss Brendan Rodgers
- Rodgers left Swansea in 2011 but was sacked by Liverpool in October
- Monk is 'worried' about his position - and a change now seems inevitable
- Move for former Manchester United manager David Moyes is ruled out
Swansea City will make an ambitious move to reunite with Brendan Rodgers when they cut ties with Garry Monk.Chairman Huw Jenkins met with Monk on Monday morning, but even though the 36-year-old is still in a job, senior club officials believe time could be called as early as Tuesday.At the very least, there is almost no expectation within the club that Monk will be in his position by Saturday's game at Manchester City.It will be an uncharacteristic move by Swansea with Jenkins privately, if not publicly, strongly supportive of his manager throughout the slump in results.
But the distinct feeling within the club is that a change is inevitable.
Thoughts within the club have already turned to what happens next and members of
the board are understood to be keen on a stunning move to re-sign Rodgers, who led Swansea to the Barclays Premier League in 2011 before leaving to join Liverpool a year later.While that would be largely popular within the club and its support, sources at Swansea are not optimistic that they would be able to lure the Northern Irishman back. They have also ruled out a move for David Moyes.
Monk admitted he was 'worried' about his position after Saturday's woeful 3-0 home defeat against Leicester. With only one league win in 11 games, Swansea now sit one point above the bottom three.
The increasing uncertainty over Monk's has spread to the dressing room, with first-team players in the dark over whether the Englishman will lead the team on Saturday.
