Swansea City appoints Richard Montague as Director of Football

Swansea City has officially appointed Richard Montague as their new Director of Football, effective February 18th. Montague, who previously served as Executive Director at Notts County, will be responsible for overseeing football operations and recruitment strategies at the club. He has a strong background in football analysis, having started his career with Football Radar and played a significant role in Notts County's promotion from the National League in 2023. His appointment comes after a vacancy left by Paul Watson and follows a disappointing January transfer window for Swansea. The club hopes Montague's expertise will enhance their recruitment efforts and overall football operations. His collaboration with head coach Luke Williams, who also previously worked at Notts County, is expected to foster better synergy within the team.
