Borja Baston: Ex-manager Bob Bradley drove Swansea players 'mad'

Borja Baston doesn't have fond memories of former Swansea City manager Bob Bradley during his brief tenure at the Welsh club.

The American - who was named Los Angeles FC's first manager ahead of the Major League Soccer team's inaugural season in 2018 - only lasted 11 matches before Swansea officials relieved him of his duties in December.

His appointment raised some eyebrows in Britain, with many questioning his credentials upon Bradley becoming the first American to manage in England's top flight.

The Spanish forward revealed that life under Bradley was difficult in the days and weeks after the dismissal of his predecessor Francesco Guidolin, who was responsible for Borja's arrival from Atletico Madrid last summer.

"I arrived with an arm injury that I had picked up at Atletico, and just when I was recovering I had a small problem with my quadriceps," he told AS, as translated by ESPN FC. "I recovered from that and was able to play a couple of games, but then they (Swansea) fired the manager who had brought me in.

"It was difficult after that because the manager who came in (Bradley) drove the team mad. He made lots of changes and we didn't know what we were trying to do.

"In the end, with the arrival of Paul Clement, the team settled and we managed to stay up."

After picking up just eight points from a possible 33, the Swans entrenched themselves in a relegation fight before opting to part ways with Bradley.

Meanwhile, Borja engineered a loan move to Malaga for the upcoming season after starting just four Premier League matches and scoring one goal during his swift spell in Wales.
