Former Wales international Craig Bellamy believes Swansea City would be making a "massive mistake" if they sacked manager Garry Monk.
Swansea have only won once in the Premier League since August - a 2-1 win over bottom-placed Aston Villa - which has seen them slip to 15th in the table.
But Bellamy thinks Swansea would be left to rue their decision if they get rid of the 36-year-old.
"If Swansea get rid of him I believe it would be a massive mistake and I’m quite strong on that," Bellamy said on Sky Sports.
"Last year he was the best manager in their history. Yes, he’s a young manager and people talk about experience, but give him experience through a bad time."
Bellamy added: "As a club, you will benefit through this experience.
"I don’t feel Swansea will get relegated so stick with this man. He’s been with them a long time and seen the transitional period, and Swansea will be a better club with Monk involved."
Swansea's next test is away to Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
