Report: Chris Coleman, Ryan Giggs on Swansea City managerial shortlist

Swansea City could turn to either Chris Coleman or Ryan Giggs should they take the decision to sack current boss Francesco Guidolin, a report claims.

Swansea City have reportedly drawn up a five-man shortlist of managers to replace Francesco Guidolin after the club's slow start to the new season.

The Swans have failed to win in the Premier League since their opening-day triumph at Burnley, leaving the Welsh outfit just one point above the drop zone.

According to The Mirror, Swansea are not likely to sack Guidolin this week and will instead wait until the upcoming international break to evaluate the situation.

It is claimed that current Wales boss Chris Coleman and ex-Wales international Ryan Giggs are City's toptwo targets, although the former has already rejected the advances of Premier League side Hull City this season.

Should Giggs take on the job, it is understood that Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes will be asked to join him at the Liberty Stadium as part of his backroom staff.
