Francesco Guidolin made a surprise appearance in the same hotel where his successor Bob Bradley was about to be unveiled as Swansea manager on Friday afternoon. Italian Guidolin, sacked by the Swans on Monday, spoke to a Swansea official – who explained the press conference was due to take place – before walking away. It is understood Guidolin had arrived for a meeting of his own and had not realised Bradley would be present. Swansea usually hold press conferences at their own Liberty Stadium, but that was unavailable on Friday due to the Ospreys’ rugby match against Cardiff Blues.
