Sunday, April 2, wasn’t a good day to be a former Swansea City manager. Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potter were sacked by Leicester City and Chelsea respectively after poor runs of form.
Rodgers’ four-year spell as Foxes boss came to an end after a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace which saw them drop to 19th in the Premier League table, leaving them in real danger of dropping out of the top flight.
In west London, meanwhile, Potter was given his marching orders by the Blues after less than seven months in charge. A 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa signalled the end of his tenure with the club languishing in 11th place in the Premier League - with a cool £600million being spent already this term.
