Michael Duff: Swansea City name Barnsley manager as new boss
Swansea City have named Barnsley's Michael Duff as their new head coach.
"Every conversation I had with him only reinforced the view that he is exactly the type of leader we need here at Swansea City. Duff had two years to run on the deal he signed at Barnsley after moving to Oakwell from Cheltenham in June 2022. "I want to play good football and I know that there is an expectation of that at this football club, but it's about evolving it, moving it and being a bit more on the front foot and a bit more progressive at times.
"There were lots of reasons I wanted to come to Swansea; the step up in level, but also the infrastructure that's already at the football club, and speaking to the owners and the ambition they've got for the club it matches my own ambition.
