MANAGER CARLOS CARVALHAL is set to leave Swansea at the end of the season, with the club facing almost certain relegation from the Premier League, reports said Thursday.
Defeat at home to fellow-strugglers Southampton this week coupled with Huddersfield’s draw against Chelsea leaves Swansea needing an unlikely sequence of events to survive in the English top flight.
The Swans, who have gone eight league games without a win, need to beat Stoke on the final day of the season on Sunday and for Southampton to lose at home to champions Manchester City with a 10-goal swing in their favour in order to stay up.
The reports said the Swansea board did not plan to renew Carvalhal’s contract.
The Portuguese manager’s reign began in December with a win over Watford and they followed that up with victories over Liverpool, Arsenal, Burnley and West Ham.
But their form has collapsed since then, with the club now looking doomed to the drop, ending a spell of seven seasons in the Premier League.
The Swansea City Supporters’ Trust on Thursday called for chairman Huw Jenkins to stand down.

Makes me feel better about the odd double digit holes on my scorecards!
He better turn things around quick or Els he’s out
He’ll Ernies par next hole
Although the big eeejit hashtag is a witty take on ernies big easy nickname, to use it in circumstances like this shows you know nothing about golf as no true golfer or golf fan would ever mock or make fun of someone who has the yips. And no, it doesnt matter that ernie will never see it or be offended by it, i find it classless in the extreme.
What yips? Any blue ghosts?
He 3 putted the next for par aswell
You should hit the range Barry. Get it all out.
Barry, I’d say you’re mighty craic on a night out
I feel his struggle
Barry, you’re some gimp
Does anyone here know Barney Carroll?
Video shows 6 putts.
Won’t take long till someone puts Benny Hill music to that!!!
Just tap tap tap it in!
It was a 9
Inexcusable. Can he see????
He has the yips, has had them for a few years. Basically means his wrists jerk uncontrollably on short putts, he said after he might consider retiring because of it.
Look at his right wrist closely in video above. It has a mind of its own. Horrible feeling I’m sure. I’d nearly rather have a dose of the davey crocketts
