In an accompanying statement on Swansea’s official website, chairman Huw Jenkins said:
“We’d like to put on record our thanks to Carlos for his enthusiasm, hard work and commitment since arriving at the club in December.
“Naturally, we are all disappointed with the club’s relegation from the Premier League, and following discussions with Carlos, we felt it was in the best interests of both parties that we move in a new direction.
“We will now be looking to appoint a new manager in readiness for the 2018-19 season.
