Swansea City will be hoping to improve upon their mid-table finish next season as they look to plan for life without Russell Martin.

The former MK Dons manager is on the verge of joining Southampton as their new manager, but considering their recent track record, finding their new head coach should be a simple process.

Graham Potter, Steve Cooper and Russell Martin have all had varying degrees of success at the club in recent years and the Swans will be hoping their next manager can do the same.
