As part of the backroom shake-up, it's understood current chief executive Julian Winter and head of football operations Josh Marsh will leave their roles at the club.
And just three days before Swansea's final game of the 2022/23 season, the club have officially confirmed Coleman as their new chairman, with the American's shareholding in the club being described as "significant".
The club also stated that Coleman - whose family will also make the move with him across the Atlantic - "will now assume day-to-day responsibility" for the running of the club.

Swansea City co-owner Jason Levien said: "I am pleased that Andy will be the new chairman of Swansea City and operating partner in Swansea.
“We believe what Swansea City needs now is a chairman on the ground with the authority to run the club. Andy’s passion for this project is palpable, and his commitment and leadership are exactly what the club needs.”
On his appointment, Coleman said: “I am honoured to take on the responsibility of being chairman of Swansea City.
“I have seen first-hand on my numerous visits to Swansea the passion and commitment of the supporters, and how much it means to this city.
“I’m putting my whole life into this club and this community. I promise to work tirelessly to represent the club in a manner that supporters can take pride in. I want to share in their enthusiasm for the club and its success, and I want all of us to enjoy it together.
“The facilities and infrastructure are best-in-class, and we look forward to building on the club’s strengths to put Swansea City in the best possible position to achieve our shared goals.”
Coleman is an investor in Major League Soccer team DC United, who are co-owned by Jason Levien. He comes from a hospitality background and is the head of hotels and hospitality and senior managing director at Berkadia.
The Swans are also working on a deal to make Paul Watson - who is chief operating officer at Luton Town - their new sporting director.
Coleman is expected to be at the Swans' Championship clash with West Brom at the Swansea.com Stadium on Monday. Kick-off is at 3pm.
