Marcel Desailly has emerged as a potential candidate for the vacant Swansea managerial role, according to The Sun.
The Welsh side are in the market for a new boss after Brendan Rodgers left the Liberty Stadium to take over from Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool.
The Swans were thought to be close to agreeing a deal to bring Wigan assistant Graeme Jones in as the Northern Irishman’s replacement, but talks are thought to have broken down and the Premier League club are now exploring other options.
Desailly has close Welsh connections after studying for his coaching licence with the FAW, and is believed to be interested in the role as an entrance to coaching.
Other candidates that have been touted for the position include Gus Poyet, Ian Holloway and Michael Laudrup, but as yet Swansea have given no inclination of who their preferred option would be.
