There are reports Swansea City will sack Coach Francesco Guidolin, due partly to his health as well as recent results.

The tactician was widely reported to be on the chopping block going into this weekend and his side fumbled a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 at home to Liverpool.

He took the Premier League side to safety last season after taking over in January and will turn 61 on Monday.

There are reports Swansea City will sack Coach Francesco Guidolin, due partly to his health as well as recent results.

The tactician was widely reported to be on the chopping block going into this weekend and his side fumbled a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 at home to Liverpool.

He took the Premier League side to safety last season after taking over in January and will turn 61 on Monday.

“I don’t know what will happen tomorrow or if there will be a meeting but I’m very happy with my players. I want to say they fought for 95 minutes and this is very important.

“If we played in this way earlier in the season it would be impossible not to have results. I am not worried about my position but I am worried about our position in the table.”

According to The Sun, the reasons for the club’s determination to fire Guidolin have more basis than simply his results.

The Italian had a lung infection in March and was forced to miss the 2-1 win at Arsenal because he was in hospital on a drip.

Guidolin has suffered from stress-related illness in the past while he was at Udinese and took up yoga to deal with these issues.

He retired from management in 2014, but only worked as a club co-ordinator at Watford, Udinese and Granada for one year – all sides run by the Pozzo family.

It is possible the stress of Premier League management has exacerbated those past problems and The Sun newspaper suggests his health is a concern for the Swansea City owners.
