Monk takes Swans into the deep end

Garry Monk faces the biggest test of his fledgling coaching career tonight when Swansea go into Europa League battle with Italian heavyweights Napoli (kick-off 8:05pm).

The Liberty Stadium last-32 first-leg clash sees Swansea boss Monk face an intriguing head-to-head with Napoli chief Rafael Benitez.

While Monk’s coaching reign has spanned just three games since succeeding Michael Laudrup, Benitez’s record is one laced with silverware.
