The Swansea City Supporters’ Trust would like to welcome our new head coach Steve Cooper and assistant first-team coach Mike Marsh to our football club.

We are happy that the club has looked to appoint a manager with an ethos in developing young players and will look to continue the work done last season in regaining our footballing identity.

The Trust can confirm that, whilst not directly involved in the interview process, our supporter director Stuart McDonald has been kept fully updated by club chairman Trevor Birch throughout the process.

The Trust would like to wish Steve and Mike all the best for the coming season and we are confident that, so long as the club can ensure we retain our talented young squad and strengthen where possible, they will be successful in their new roles.
