Former Bristol City coaches among early favourites to replace Russell Martin at Swansea City

Former Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill and ex-Robins Under-23 coach Luke Williams are among the early favourites to succeed Russell Martin as Swansea City manager, with the 37-year-old set to be appointed at Southampton.

Relegated Saints confirmed the departure of caretaker Ruben Selles on Wednesday and Martin is widely reported to have agreed a three-year contract to take over at St Mary’s as they prepare for life in the Championship next season.

Martin’s departure would leave both south Wales sides without a manager after Cardiff City’s decision to not extend Sabri Lamouchi’s contract earlier this month, and many of the candidates mentioned so far by bookmakers cut across both clubs.
