- The former Scotland international signs three-year deal
- ‘He very much fits the profile of a young and hungry coach’
Russell Martin has been appointed Swansea’s new manager on a three-year deal.
The former Scotland international moves to the Liberty Stadium from MK Dons, despite initially rejecting the Swans’ approach. The Championship club – who lost against Brentford in the play-off final last season – refused to give up and will pay around £400,000 compensation for Martin, who replaces Steve Cooper and will be joined by Luke Williams, Matt Gill and Dean Thornton from his coaching staff in Milton Keynes.
