Swansea City sack head coach Luke Williams after dismal run of form

Published on Feb 17, 2025

Swansea City have sacked their head coach Luke Williams with the team 17th in the Championship. The Swans have lost eight of their last 10 games, including Saturday’s 3-1 league defeat at Stoke City.

“This was a difficult decision and one that has not been taken lightly,” said chairman Andy Coleman. “Luke has led the club through some challenging periods and we appreciate his hard work.

“Unfortunately, since the turn of the year our performances and results have not been of the standard required at this level. Ultimately, that has led us to conclude a change is required in order to bring about an improvement in our showings on the pitch.”

Williams moved to south Wales in January 2024 after leaving his role at Notts County.
