A new contender has emerged in the search for Swansea City’s next manager, with Hibernian boss David Gray reportedly being considered for the role. The 36-year-old Scottish manager has impressed the Swans hierarchy with his success at Hibs, where he has led the team to third place in the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). Gray’s remarkable 15-game unbeaten run has caught the attention of Swansea City officials, who have been without a permanent manager since Luke Williams was dismissed last month.
Despite initial speculation around other potential candidates like Des Buckingham and Eric Ramsay, it appears that Gray has moved into contention for the position. Interim boss Alan Sheehan, who has been temporarily leading the team, has also expressed interest in taking on the role permanently. The Swans are taking their time in the search for a new manager, with director of football Richard Montague overseeing the process. Sheehan is expected to remain in charge at least until the upcoming international break, following a decent start to his interim spell.
Hibs’ recent success, including a derby victory over Hearts and an impressive winning streak, has further boosted Gray’s credentials for the Swansea job. The Welsh club will be evaluating their options carefully before making a decision on their next permanent manager. With Gray’s strong track record and recent achievements in the SPFL, he could be a serious contender for the position. Swansea City fans will be eagerly watching to see how the managerial search unfolds in the coming weeks.
As the speculation around Gray’s potential appointment grows, Swansea City supporters are hopeful that the club can secure a manager who will lead them to success in the future. The team will be looking for stability and a clear direction under new leadership, following a challenging period of results. With the Swans keen to get back on track and push for promotion, the appointment of the right manager will be crucial in shaping the club’s future. Gray’s experience and achievements at Hibs could make him a frontrunner for the role, but the final decision rests with the Swansea City board as they continue their search process.
