Swansea have sacked manager Paul Clement with the club rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.
Clement, 45, had been under increasing pressure and the Swans have confirmed his departure after Monday night's 3-1 defeat at Everton left them four points adrift of safety.
Swansea have lost all but two of their last 10 league games and have registered just 12 points from their opening 18 fixtures.
Louis van Gaal has been backed in to 3/1 this morning after being linked with the job in a couple of newspapers.
Leon Britton, the long-serving Swansea midfielder recently installed as part of the club's coaching staff, is on offer at 10/1.
Ronald Koeman, sacked by Everton earlier this season, is available at 12/1 and ex-Manchester United coach Ryan Giggs can be backed at the same price - check out all of the contenders for the top job at Swansea!

Assistant managers Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi have also left the club.
Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins told the club’s official website: "To change the manager, especially at only the halfway point of the season, is the last thing we wanted to do as a club.
"We had three different manager last season and as a result we all wanted to give Paul as much time as possible to turn things around.
"But we felt we couldn't leave it any longer and needed to make a change to give us the best chance of an uplift and a turnaround in fortunes with the club bottom of the Premier League.
"Paul has been at the club for 12 months and what he achieved in the second half of last season to keep us in the top flight was a tremendous feat. For that, and his effort and commitment this season, it goes without saying that the club thanks him for his work, together with Nigel (Gibbs) and Karl (Halabi).
"I have had an excellent working relationship with Paul and we are all, including the owners, surprised and disappointed it hasn't worked out this season.
"We wish Paul every success in his career going forward.''
