Barnsley manager set to move to Championship clubMartin’s Swansea exit delayed by compensation claims
Swansea are hopeful of appointing Barnsley’s Michael Duff as their next manager, with Russell Martin’s protracted exit to Southampton set to be rubber-stamped in the next 48 hours. Swansea have held informal talks with Duff in recent days and are confident of striking a deal.
The Championship club identified Duff and Chris Davies, Brendan Rodgers’ long-standing assistant, as targets to succeed Martin but the latter is in line to join Ange Postecoglou’s staff at Tottenham. John Eustace, the Birmingham manager, was also thought to be of interest.
