Ex-Swansea City boss Luke Williams' new job at Bristol Airport after Championship sacking

Luke Williams, the ex-Swansea City manager, is no stranger to rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck into a hard day's work.

Before embarking on his managerial career, Williams earned his keep through various manual jobs, including loading lorries and driving minibuses. He has openly spoken about working up to 20 hours a day, a testament to the work ethic that has propelled him through the ranks of football management.

Since leaving Swansea in February, the 44 year old has likely been eager to dive back into employment.

His latest position may come as a surprise to those familiar with his journey, despite his strong working-class background that has influenced both his life and football philosophy.

Williams has taken up a role at Bristol Airport, where he's been recognised by holiday-goers, as report Wales Online.

He is understood to be assisting passengers with disabilities or limited mobility.

Observers might question why a football manager, whose career could still be ascending, would opt for such an unconventional job.

A photo of Williams donning a hi-vis jacket, shared on social media, certainly raised eyebrows among fans and followers.

Yet, the former Notts County coach has never shied away from expressing his almost insatiable appetite for hard graft.

"Sometimes I would work 20 hours off the bat, get three or four hours' kip, back to work," he once recounted in a Guardian interview.

"In my opinion motivation in life is everything," he further stated, underlining his relentless drive.

"The realisation in my late-teens that life is going to be a monumental struggle for me, that life was about to become very tough and the world would become very hostile for somebody with no qualifications, no contacts, working class ... that desire to feed myself and look after myself kicked in.

"I realised that I was capable of tolerating almost anything, providing that I would be able to have a roof over my head and something to eat.

"That is how the motivation began. I don't think I've really moved away from that. I still feel as insecure in that way as I ever did."

Williams was shown the door as Swans boss back in February, after just over a year at the helm, and it's yet to be determined when he will make his return to football.
