<b>Allnigeriasoccer.com </b>understands that a high profile German manager has been proposed to the leadership of Swansea City as replacement for&nbsp; Michael Laudrup, who was fired on Tuesday after a dismal run of results.<br /><br />The preferred choice to take over the reins at the Welsh outfit is Everton assistant manager Graeme Jones but the Toffees do not intend to part with the 43 - year - old for now.<br /><br />Also, with the quality of players at Swansea, the management wants someone who can command respect from their star players like Michu, Wilfried Bony and Jonjo Shelvey.<br /><br />What the Swansea brass is looking for is a coach that understands the philosophy of Swansea which is about having a passing game with control and the candidate should be in the same level as previous managers - Martinez, Rodgers and Laudrup.<br /><br />Other candidates being proposed include Glenn Hoddle, who applied for the Nigeria job four years ago, Dennis Bergkamp and Marcelo Bielsa.<br /><br />Excluding performance related incentives, the new manager will pocket one million pounds as annual wage. Last year, Laudrup earned close to four million pounds.<br /><br />If things go according to plan, Swansea will announce their new manager on or before the next 72 hours.<br /><br />Photo Credit : footballadvisor.co.uk<br /><br /><br />
