Fuccillo has played and managed at Luton and Peterborough

Swansea City chief scout Lil Fuccillo is set to leave the club after just seven months in the role.

The 53-year-old was brought in to replace highly-rated Kevin Reeves who left in the summer to join former boss Roberto Martinez at Wigan Athletic.

Fuccillo's relationship with current manager Paulo Sousa is understood to be one of the reasons behind his exit.

The club is expected to confirm the former Everton, Leicester and Newcastle scout's departure this week.
