The 40-year-old took charge at the DW Stadium following the sacking of Kolo Toure and guided the Latics to four wins and eight draws.

He couldn't keep them in the Championship, but it seems he's nevertheless attracted admiration from elsewhere.

Swansea 'have a favourite' in managerial search

Swansea City have reportedly identified their preferred candidate to take over as their new manager.

The delay in Russell Martin's exit has seemingly stalled the search for a new boss, but the club have already held tentative conversations with potential candidates.

A potential appointment is likely to gather pace once Martin's exit is confirmed, but it appears the club may already have a preferred candidate.

According to journalist Alan Nixon, the Swans already have a leading candidate in mind.

Responding to a question on Twitter, Nixon wrote: "I think they have a favourite."

Postecoglou eager to tie down Mason amid Swans links

Another man linked with the Swansea City job is Tottenham Hotspur coach Ryan Mason.

According to London World, there is a 'growing interest' from the Swans, but new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou appears keen on keeping Mason on board in north London. The former Celtic boss is reportedly keen on bringing assistant John Kennedy with him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as well as video analyst Greg Wallace and first-team coach Gavin Strachan.

However, there could yet be a place for Mason in the Australian's plans.

Latibeaudiere attracting Premier League interest

Joel Latibeaudiere won't be signing a new deal at Swansea City, and it seems he may be already be close to finding a new club.

Football Insider claims Luton Town are now taking a closer look at the 23-year-old, who was previously the subject of interest from Burnley back in January.

The centre-back made 37 appearances for the Swans across all competitions last season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in those outings.
