Bob Bradley believes Swansea City should recapture their football identity upon their return to the Championship.

The American, currently in change of Los Angeles FC, spent just eleven games in charge of the Swans before getting sacked two seasons ago.

And speaking about his former club, who still keeps tabs on, Bradley has advised them to try and play the attractive brand of football they became renowned for during their Premier League stint.

"I feel it is an opportunity to re-establish the football way. I was there for 11 games and I tried like hell to get that team to play football every match," Bradley said.

"I didn't take enough points. I understand that and you move on.

"Wherever I've gone I've tried to challenge players that in order to get anywhere we've got to play good football. I still remember the Tottenham game where I took a lot of criticism, some from in-house.

"We were down 2-0 at half time and then you have an important decision - is it damage control or a real attempt to get back into the game?

"I chose to try and get back into it and we lost 5-0. When I was challenged by people on the inside I said 'If you're not willing to go for games and push yourselves, then you have no chance to become a good team'.

"People can say that's naive, but I don't really care because that's football and the best teams are not afraid to play and create chances.

"Whoever Swansea choose there has to be an understanding of what kind of team the supporters have to stand behind, the football they want to see every week, and I wish them all the best."
