Paul Watson: Sporting director leaves Swansea City
Swansea City sporting director Paul Watson has left the Championship club.
Watson – who previously held the role of chief operating officer during a five-year stint with Luton Town – was appointed as Swansea’s sporting director in the summer of 2023.
Chairman Andy Coleman said: “I would like to extend our thanks to Paul for his work during his time with us. We wish him every success for the future.”
A club statement read: “The club will update in due course regarding recruitment plans for the position.
“In the meantime, Paul’s responsibilities will be handled by the existing football department staff.”
His official arrival at the Championship club came four days after the Swans named Michael Duff as Russell Martin’s successor.
