Swansea City confirm Vítor Matos as new head coach
The 37‑year‑old Portuguese coach arrives from Marítimo on a contract running until the summer of 2029 and will take charge of Tuesday’s Championship fixture against Derby County.
Matos was identified as the club’s preferred candidate after what Swansea described as a “thorough but concise” recruitment process. His arrival follows a period of uncertainty in the dugout, with Darren O’Dea stepping in as interim boss for one game after Alan Sheehan’s departure earlier this month
Background and experience
Matos brings significant experience from elite football environments. He spent five years at Liverpool as elite development coach under Jürgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders, helping bridge the gap between academy and first team. During that period, Liverpool won the Premier League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups, while Matos worked closely with emerging talents including Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones and Neco Williams.
He began his coaching career at FC Porto, spent time in China, and most recently managed Marítimo, where he reshaped their playing style and guided them into the upper reaches of Liga Portugal 2. He also holds a UEFA Pro Licence completed with the Football Association of Wales.

Alan Sheehan sacked
Swansea parted company with head coach Alan Sheehan earlier this month after a poor run of results.
Darren O’Dea interim appointment
Former Celtic defender Darren O’Dea stepped in as caretaker boss for one game before leaving the club.
Interim defeat at Bristol City
O’Dea’s only match in charge ended in a 2–1 loss away at Bristol City.
Speculation and bookies odds
Russell Martin, Kim Hellberg and Brendan Rodgers were all linked during the search for a new head coach.
Matos release clause confirmed
Portuguese club Marítimo confirmed Swansea had paid Vítor Matos’s €1m release clause.
Appointment made official
Swansea City have now confirmed Vítor Matos as head coach on a contract until 2029.
Swansea’s tradition of young coaches
Swansea City CEO Tom Gorringe said Matos was the standout candidate:
“We spoke to a range of candidates and Vítor was the clear stand‑out with a cohesive plan of how to take our squad forward and improve. He is committed to playing an attacking brand of football, and to developing players technically and tactically, and we are sure supporters are going to enjoy watching his Swansea City team in action.”
The appointment continues Swansea’s long‑standing tradition of backing ambitious, technically‑focused young coaches — a lineage that has included Roberto Martínez, Brendan Rodgers, and Russell Martin.
Backroom changes
The club confirmed that Leon Britton has joined the coaching team on a short‑term basis, while Joe Allen will also assist with the transition. Darren O’Dea and Richard Stearman have left the club following their interim roles, with Swansea thanking them for their efforts.
Matos will lead Swansea for the first time on Tuesday night against Derby County, with supporters eager to see how his high‑intensity, possession‑based style translates to the Championship.

Vítor Matos to become Swansea City head coach as Portuguese club confirms €1m release clause paid
In a statement issued late on Friday, Marítimo said the 37-year-old coach would depart immediately to “assume the technical command” of Swansea City, adding that the Welsh club had paid the full termination fee required to complete the move.
Matos, who previously worked under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool and alongside Pep Lijnders at RB Salzburg, has impressed in his first senior managerial role, guiding Marítimo to third in Portugal’s second tier. The club thanked him for his “professionalism, dedication and contribution” and wished him success in his new role.
Swansea yet to confirm appointment
Despite Marítimo’s announcement, Swansea City have not yet issued a formal statement. The club confirmed earlier this week that Darren O’Dea would oversee Saturday’s away fixture at Bristol City, continuing in his interim role.
The Swans had previously pursued Kim Hellberg, who is now expected to join Middlesbrough, and were linked with former managers Russell Martin and Brendan Rodgers during the search for a new head coach.
Matos seen as a long-term rebuild figure
Sources close to the club suggest Matos is viewed as a strategic appointment, with a focus on squad development and long-term stability. His experience in elite youth coaching and tactical innovation is expected to align with Swansea’s evolving footballing philosophy.
What it means for fans
If confirmed, Matos would become the Swans’ third permanent head coach in under 18 months. His arrival could signal a shift toward continental coaching methods and a renewed emphasis on player development.
