Pennock Leaves Swansea

Tony Pennock has left Swansea City to concentrate on his career in management at Port Talbot Town. The Goalkeeping coach who is now 36 had been carrying on with the job at the Liberty Stadium while managing the Welsh Premier League side. Martinez must now look for a new coach as well as a new goalkeeper as the transfer window closes in 9 days.Pennock told the Evening Post "It's my decision to step away because unfortunately we just couldn't find a way for me to carry on doing the job which suited both parties." "I've had three fantastic years with Swansea and I wish Roberto and the rest of the staff all the best." "I'm sad to be leaving and I hope whoever comes in does a good job with Dorus de Vries and whoever else Roberto signs."Huw Jenkins:

"Tony has become unavailable to us because of his workload." "Roberto is now looking into other areas to find a suitable replacement, because we certainly need a goalkeeping coach." "We need one for the first team, obviously, but we also need someone to work with the goalkeepers in our youth structure." "What we have to do now is make sure we get the right person."
