Swansea City's hunt for a new sporting director is well under way.
Mark Allen left the Swans last month after just eight months in the role, with the Welshman being promoted from the position of academy director at the club in August. You can read the initial story here. It's understood there were significant behind-the-scenes disagreements between Allen and chief executive Julian Winter.
Former Man City and Rangers chief Allen addressed his exit ahead of the Swans' Championship clash with Nottingham Forest. “Having spent the last 15 months or so aligning the football methodology and operations across the club from academy to first team, and establishing a strong foundation on which to build, I feel it is the appropriate time in the project to pass the baton on," he said.
