Former Everton boss Ronald Koeman has ruled himself out of the running to take over at managerless Swansea City, according to a report.

The 54-year-old is said to have been targeted by the Swans to replace sacked Paul Clement, along with fellow out-of-work manager Slaven Bilic.

Sky Sports News suggests that Koeman has already made it known that he is not interested in the vacancy, however, and he will instead hold out for another Premier League job in the New Year.

Swansea will go into Saturday's huge clash against Crystal Palace with Leon Britton in caretaker charge, but the long-serving midfielder does not want the job on a permanent basis.

Ryan Giggs is another to have distanced himself from the top-flight strugglers, having been overlooked at the interview stage last season.
