Swansea set to appoint Paul Williams as assistant manager

Swansea City manager Bob Bradley is set to appoint Paul Williams as his assistant at the Liberty Stadium, according to Sky sources.
Williams, who is yet to sign a contract with Swansea, is the current England U20s interim coach following a spell as caretaker manager of Nottingham Forest for two months at the end of last season.
His contract at Forest was not renewed as Philippe Montanier was appointed the club's permanent manager in the summer. He oversaw two wins in 10 games at the City Ground.
Williams has also had coaching experience with Wolves, Aldershot, Southampton and Brentford after a playing career which started at Derby County in 1989.
The 45-year-old, who played at centre-back and in midfield, also had stints with Coventry City, Southampton and Stoke City before a brief period in the United States with Richmond Kickers ahead of his retirement in 2005.
Bradley replaced Francesco Guidolin as Swansea boss on October 3 but the Swans have picked up only one point from their four Premier League games since then.
They are 19th in the table and six points adrift of safety ahead of Saturday's game against Everton at Goodison Park.
