Swansea City manager search LIVE: Updates as Hellberg emerges as early contender

Swansea City are on the hunt for a new manager, following the decision to part company with Alan Sheehan earlier this week.

Sheehan was dismissed on the back of Swansea's worst start to a league season since relegation from the Premier League.

Saturday's 4-1 hammering at the hands of Ipswich Town was clearly the final straw, and the club are now on the hunt for a new boss.

Swedish coach Kim Hellberg has emerged as one of the early contenders, while Russell Martin and Brendan Rodgers have been mentioned by the bookies as possibilities.

There are likely to be plenty of twists and turns ahead, and you can follow all the latest with our live blog below.
