Now, after sealing his switch to the Liberty Stadium, the 35-year-old has sent a message to MK Dons supporters.

Speaking on his official Instagram (quotes via the MK Citizen), Martin moved to thank all involved during his time with the club.

Swansea’s new boss expressed the pride he feels in the job done with the club, adding that he will continue to feel that pride as he watches on from South Wales.

Here’s what he had to say:

“Thanks to everyone at MK Dons for a brilliant two-and-a-half years.

“I will always be grateful for the opportunity I was given and for the people I shared the journey with. I’m proud that we were able to leave the club in a better place than the one I came into as a player and then took on as manager.

“I wish everyone at the club nothing but success and will watch on with pride at the excellent group of players that we absolutely loved working with.”

What next for MK Dons?

Not only do the League One side need a new manager, but they need to bring in a whole new backroom team.

Luke Williams, Dean Thornton and Matt Gill have all followed Martin to South Wales.

They have built a strong squad ahead of the new season which is a reason for encouragement, but a new boss is the priority as the new League One season nears.

Tough times at Stadium:MK

Martin’s departure is a significant blow for MK ahead of what looked to be a promising season in Buckinghamshire.

However, with their manager gone, the club have no choice but to move on and look forward with their 2021/22 campaign underway.
