Swansea City has made it clear that Nathan Jones is not being considered for their vacant managerial position, as reported by Wales Online. The departure of Michael Duff has triggered speculation about the next manager, with Tony Mowbray also leaving Sunderland on the same night.
Despite recent rumors linking Nathan Jones to the position, a Wales Online report has emphasized that the 50-year-old is not currently in contention for the job. Jones recently declined an offer from Rotherham United and has been without a job since leaving Southampton in February after a challenging period following his departure from Luton Town.
The report suggests that club sources have explicitly stated that Jones is not a candidate for the position at this time. It may not come as a surprise, given Jones’s background as a Cardiff City fan, having started his playing career in their academy. Despite his previous success in the Championship, a move to South Wales seems unlikely.
As Swansea City searches for a new manager, it is crucial to make the right appointment after the unsuccessful tenure of Duff, which did not yield positive results and strained relations with the fans. The coming weeks and months will reveal who the club selects in their quest to improve their standing in the table.
