SWANSEA City appointed former Denmark international and Barcelona great Michael Laudrup as its manager yesterday in what could be a perfect fit for the 'Barcelona of Welsh football'.
The Premier League club announced in a statement that Laudrup, who won four titles in a row with Barcelona in a career that also saw him acclaimed as Denmark's best ever player, had signed a two-year deal. "Contracts were completed at noon today," Swansea, whose playing style has drawn glowing comparisons with the Spanish giant, said on its website. It will be Laudrup's first foray into English soccer management.
