Lita wants to come back to Swansea 14:22 - Mar 2 with 815 views | KeithHaynes | Former Swansea City striker Leroy Lita loved his time at the Welsh club and would be open to returning as a coach should an opportunity arise in the future, he has exclusively revealed in an interview with Football League World. Lita joined the Swans from Middlesbrough in August 2011 ahead of their return to the top flight after nearly 30 years away. He struggled to ever really cement his place in the starting XI and was restricted to 16 Premier League appearances and just two goals in his debut season at the Liberty Stadium. Loan moves away would follow and he left the club permanently in 2014 having made 21 appearances in total. Even so, it seems Swansea had a lasting impression on the 36-year-old and, speaking exclusively to Football League World, Lita revealed how much he enjoyed his time there and indicated he would be open to a future return. Pressed on whether there were any clubs that he felt he had unfinished business with or would relish the chance to return to, he said: “Everyone always says Reading but I didn’t really enjoy it there. I didn’t really get on with the people upstairs and some of the staff that were there at the time. “I did enjoy being at Swansea. Loved everybody there. It’s a good club with good people and I got on with every single person there, so maybe there.” Lita is now plying his trade with non-league club Nuneaton Borough and has had the opportunity to dip his toe into coaching with them. | |

We have been a bit of a soft touch in the past but I don't think Cooper will take on just anybody. He won't accept it with players and I doubt he'd look differently at potential new staff members. | |

You say it as it is. We have form for it by giving Routledge and Dyer the most ludicrous contract in our history,followed by that of keeping Naughton on the books. We really are that sentimental and dull | |

I’m trying to imagine a conversation between Cooper and Lita. Cooper ‘ So Leroy when teaching recovery formations after an attacking break down, what’s your proposed system to revert to’ ? Leroy ‘ Punch the first taxi driver you can find ‘ Cooper ‘ It’s an option, but the non negotiables don’t stretch that far ‘ | |
