(Reuters) - Swansea City have parted company with manager Carlos Carvalhal after they were relegated from the Premier League, the Welsh club said on Friday.

The 52-year-old's contract expired at the end of the campaign and Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins said the club had decided to "move in a new direction".
