Swansea City manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 this summer.
The Danish football legend was handed over the reins of the South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 club after former chief, Brendan Rodgers, opted to move to Liverpool in June.
The 48-year old, who had represented clubs such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, Juventus and Real Madrid during his illustrious playing career, also spent a considerable period of time as a manager in La Liga. However, the Swansea job is his first assignment in the Premier
League.
The team have done a decent job under the supervision of Laudrup so far, having already chalked out 4 wins this campaign. They currently occupy the ninth slot in the table and are ahead of Liverpool by a single point.
Although the manager will be pleased with what has transpired for his team thus far, he revealed that he was still a little surprised on being approached by the Swans in the summer.
However, he said that he was really relishing the challenge of helping them do well and viewed it as an opportunity to boast his managerial credentials.
“It is unusual that someone like me ends up in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. And it is a great opportunity for me,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“I think it is exciting to be at the level of the big league and to have the opportunity, especially when I come from a small country.”
“It is always difficult to move to other countries, because there are simply so many good coaches.”
The Swans have already accomplished some notable feats under Laudrup’s tutelage. On the opening day, they routed Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 5-0 at the Loftus Road Stadium which was their first victory at the venue. Last month, they inflicted a shock 3-1 loss on
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 at Anfield in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup, sending the holders crashing out of the tournament.
Besides that, they also played out impressive draws against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and the Reds at their own territory and stunned Newcastle United 2-1 at the Sports Direct Arena.
