Ex-Swansea City boss Bob Bradley says 'there was turmoil off the field' at the Premier League club.

Bradley was the first American to manage a Premier League club and was sacked after only 85 days in charge at Swansea.

The American said: "I came into a difficult situation. There was turmoil off the field.

"I think the Supporters’ Trust and many of the supporters weren’t happy at the way Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien came into the club and I understood that."

Bradley was sacked following Swansea City's 4-1 defeat by West Ham on 26 December.
