Edwards, Tate and Rosenior could be Swansea options

BBC News20-02-2025

Iwan Roberts has picked out Rob Edwards and Alan Tate as contenders to succeed Luke Williams at Swansea City.Former Wales international Edwards is without a club having left Luton Town last month, while Swansea legend Tate (pictured above) is also out of work having most recently served as number two to Steve Cooper at Leicester City.Ex-Hull City boss Liam Rosenior, who is currently in charge of French top-flight club Strasbourg, is another coach Roberts thinks Swansea should be considering following the departure of Williams earlier this week.Edwards (pictured below) won promotion to the Premier League with Luton having previously impressed at Forest Green Rovers, while Tate has worked alongside Cooper at Swansea and Nottingham Forest as well as Leicester.Despite going on his travels as Cooper's right-hand man, Swansea fans' favourite Tate still has his home in the city and is known to have ambitions to become a manager."I think Rob Edwards deserves another opportunity," former Wales striker Roberts told this week's Feast of Football podcast."Maybe someone like Alan Tate, who has been by Steve Cooper's side for five or six years now and has seen success at Swansea, getting to the play-offs, and getting Forest back into the Premier League."Maybe it's time for someone like Alan Tate to make the step from assistant to number one."Rosenior impressed at Hull only to lose his job at the end of last season after the Tigers missed out on the Championship play-offs.
"What a job he did at Hull, finishing seventh with an attractive brand of football," Roberts added."Hull didn't think he could take them to the next level and look where they are now."Alan Sheehan is in caretaker charge at Swansea for Saturday's home game against Blackburn Rovers, with the Welsh side hoping for an upturn in form having lost seven of their past nine games.The Swans are eight points clear of the Championship relegation zone with 13 league fixtures to play this season, and former Wales forward Sam Vokes reckons their managerial vacancy will appeal to potential managers."I think it's an attractive option for a manager because it's a club who expect to be doing better than they are and have been there in recent years," Wycombe player Vokes said on Feast of Football."The last 10-15 years have been very successful for Swansea. If you can get it right, I have been there in the Premier League… that place is bouncing and is a top place to play football."
