Swans may have to pay Eur1M to release Matos from Maritimo
Western Mail
|November 20, 2025
SWANSEA City’s search for a new coach has taken another twist after fresh reports in Portugal claimed the club will have to pay EUR1 million to land leading candidate Vitor Matos.
The Swans spent several days last week attempting to secure Hammarby boss Kim Hellberg, who even travelled to London for talks with Swansea and other interested clubs.
But earlier this week, Middlesbrough moved ahead of the Swans in the race, forcing Swansea to pivot and look for alternative options.
Attention has now shifted firmly to Matos (pictured), currently in charge of Portuguese side CS Maritimo and previously a member of Jurgen Klopp’s coaching staff at Liverpool.
