Ryan Giggs and Alan Pardew the early favourites for vacant Swansea job after Bob Bradley sacking

The Swans sacked Bob Bradley on Tuesday night after just 11 games in charge, telling supporters that they would provide an update on the search for a new manager “in due course”.

However, the bookmakers believe there are two clear favourites for the Premier League role, with former Wales international Ryan Giggs leading the way.

Giggs was strongly touted for the job prior to Bradley's appointment, but a lack of experience was believed to have cost the former Manchester United midfielder, whose only coaching experience has come as a number two at Old Trafford.

Alan Pardew, sacked last week by Crystal Palace is also in the mix to take over at the Liberty Stadium.

Ex-Birmingham boss Gary Rowett, current Wales manager Chris Coleman and former England boss Roy Hodgson make up the top five favourites.

Swansea are joint-bottom in the Premier League after Bradley’s disastrous 11-game tenure, with the Welsh club four points from safety with 20 games of the campaign remaining.

Finding a solution to the team’s defensive issues will be the new manager’s number one priority, with the Swans having conceded 41 Premier League goals so far this season – more than any other club in the division.

Ryan Giggs 6/4

Alan Pardew 3/1

Gary Rowett 6/1

Chris Coleman 8/1

Roy Hodgson 12/1
