John Toshack: 'Garry Monk doing everything right as Swansea City manager'

By , Reporter
Former Swansea City manager John Toshack believes that current boss Garry Monk is doing "everything right" at the Liberty Stadium.

Former Swansea City manager John Toshack has lavished praise on current boss Garry Monk, believing that the 36-year-old has "done everything right" at the Liberty Stadium.

In Monk's first full season since succeeding Michael Laudrup, the Swans claimed a club Premier League record 56 points and highest finish of eighth.

Toshack, who led Swansea out of the old Fourth Division to the top of the First Division in four seasons between 1978 and 1983, told BBC Sport: "It surprised me to be honest with you.

"At the moment Garry's done everything right and I've been impressed with him. He obviously knows the club very well from being in it for 10 years and has done better than anybody could have thought."

As a Swansea player, Monk clocked up 260 appearances with the club and also helped them with the League Cup in 2013.
