Swansea City have named Alan Sheehan and Martin Paterson as assistant coaches to new boss Michael Duff.
Paterson has followed Duff to SA1 from Barnsley, where he worked as the Northern Irishman's assistant, having played alongside him during the pair's days at Burnley.
After hanging his boots up as a player, he started his coaching career at American side the Tampa Bay Rowdies in July 2018, before moving to be assistant coach at USL League One club Fort Lauderdale CF.
He then moved to David Beckham's Inter Miami in January 2022, where he once again worked as an assistant coach, before making the move to link up with Duff at Barnsley seven months later.
Sheehan, meanwhile, joins having worked as first-team coach under Nathan Jones at Luton Town and Southampton.
Both have started their roles with immediate effect and have already travelled out to the club's warm-weather training camp in Spain.
After the exit of Dean Thornton, the club are understood to be hopeful of appointing a new goalkeeping coach by the end of next week. There's also a position in the club's analysis department to be filled following the departure of Ben Parker, who's followed Thornton in joining Russell Martin at Southampton.
First-team coach Kris O'Leary is among those set to carry on in their current roles, having received assurances from the club's hierarchy, and has been seen as a key part in helping Duff settle into his new role at the Swansea.com Stadium.
