Swansea City have confirmed the sacking of Head Coach Alan Sheehan.

The Swans were beaten 4-1 at home by Ipswich on Saturday, their fifth defeat in eight matches in all competitions.

They are 18th in the Championship having won just four of their 15 matches this season.

Irishman Sheehan, 39, had two spells as interim boss before he was appointed on a permanent basis in April following the departure of Luke Williams.

In a statement on the club's website, Swansea owners Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen said: "Alan has been instrumental in helping improve the club through two periods of time.

"Alan has a tireless work ethic, an honest approach and a positive attitude. He has put his full effort into the job on behalf of the club.

"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Alan for all of his hard work during his time at Swansea City. We wish Alan and his family all the best for the future."
