After a standout debut Premier League season, Swansea City faced major changes with the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Liverpool, and key players Joe Allen and Scott Sinclair. Enter Michel Laudrup in 2012, who aimed to elevate Swansea’s game while preserving their exciting style of football.
Key Signings included Michu for just £2 million, along with Jonathan de Guzmán and Pablo Hernández, all of whom made significant impacts.

In the 2013-14 season, Swansea embarked on a memorable Europa League campaign, including a stunning 3-0 win at Valencia. However, domestic form faltered as the team struggled to balance the demands of European football.
