Curtis hurt by Swansea dismissal
Alan Curtis
Swansea legend Alan Curtis says he is disappointed at losing his position as head of youth development at the club.

"I'm shell-shocked with a feeling of massive regret," Curtis told the BBC.

"Swansea will be at a fantastic new stadium next season and I'm not going to be a part of it, but these things have happened to better people than me.

"Manager Kenny Jackett only spoke to me for two minutes and said he wanted to bring his people in, but that's his prerogative after the year he's had."

Curtis has been associated with the club for 34 years since he joined as a 17-year-old player.

He has been community officer, youth team coach, assistant manager, caretaker manager and head of youth development at the Vetch.

The Wales international has been offered another role at the club and is set for discussions with chairman Huw Jenkins early next week before deciding on his future.

"I'm not sure what the position is yet but would guess it is something in the hospitality section of the new stadium," said Curtis.

"I've got to work through my options and get over the disappointment. I would like to remain at the club in some capacity."
