'Reluctantly parted company' is football's equivalent of consciously uncoupling.

Monk enjoyed a stellar season in charge of the Swans in 2014/15, leading many to voice their disappointment at his sacking:

"

Gary Monk has been sacked by Swansea, albeit 'very reluctantly'. What a business! #swansong

"

And while not a shock that Garry Monk has gone still a real shame - has made a superb contribution to Swansea City.

"

Monk sacked?! Couple of months ago they were saying how he could be the next England manager...a bad run of form and he's gone like that!

"

Monk sacking is appalling imo. Give him more time. Young talented manager who did well last year. Hope he gets treated better at next club
