Michael Laudrup

Former Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner, 29, celebrated his birthday in an interesting way by sharing a picture of himself on his social media page. The football star opted to share an eyebrow raising picture of him shirtless on a horseback.

The Dane was on the horse and posed for a seductive glamour shot for his fans on Instagram. There are debates that the move was a shade of Vladimir Putin. It could simply be machismo on display for the Rosenborg man. He was crucial for his side that won the Norwegian league. English soccer fans would likely not have a lot of good things to say about the player but he has made something for him in Norway. His partnership with Spurs’ Christian Eriksen is expected to bring something fruitful for the Danish national team in the new year.

Former Real Madrid player Michael Laudrup believes that Real Madrid should not sack Zinedine Zidane after their poor run of form. He said that Zidane has been formidable ever since having taken charge of the Real Madrid team and has won so many trophies in such a small period of time that this should buy him some credit.

For the past 9 years, the world of football has been dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as those 2 players have continuously attracted the attention of the spotlight with superb goals, pieces of silverware being added to their collection and more records being broken as each season passes by.

Luis Suarez, Neymar, Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Antoine Griezmann are just a few of the other players who are highly-rated and have a realistic opportunity of winning major individual awards but at the moment, everything is being split between C.Ronaldo and Messi.

Real Madrid current rave of the moment Marco Asensiocontinues to hail arch rivals Barcelona despite their slump in form. He says they remain “a great team” despite the loss of Brazil international Neymar.

The talented playmaker moved to France to join PSG for a world record €222 million this summer in a surprise deal that shocked the football community.

The Catalan side are scrambling to find decent replacement and have so far only signed Neymar’s compatriot Paulinho from a Chinese Super League side.

Neymar and his team mates put in an inspiring display leading Barcelona to 5-1 La Liga win at Leganes on Saturday.

The Catalans were keen to avoid any upsets similar to their 2-1 home loss to Alaves last week and Coach Luiz Enrique put out the strongest starting XI at his disposal.

On June of 2014, Michael Laudrup was confirmed as the new manager of the Qatar Stars League club Lekhwiya and despite it being the debut season of Laudrup as the coach, the Danish manager was still able to guide the team to huge success as Lekhwiya emerged as the champions of the Qatar Stars League and they also lifted the Crown Prince Cup.

It was a very successful debut season of Michael Laudrup as the head coach of Lekhwiya as he lifted 2 major Qatar based pieces of silverware.

Las Palmas have been one of the surprise packages in the 2016-17 La Liga season.

They were expected to struggle for much of the campaign, but Quique Setien has done an exceedingly good job this season. Yet, he has already his decision to step down from his role at the end of the campaign. Quique Setien is set to quit Las Palmas after falling out with the board over several differences. While this is a major disappointment for the club which is on the verge of a top-10 finish, the club have already begun looking at replacements.

With Swansea City struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table, fans cannot help themselves thinking how it all went wrong for their club.

Indeed it was not long ago that the club won the League Cup in 2013 and now all these memories seem to be far away.

As Swansea continues to languish in the Premier League this term, The Sun released a report on why the club sacked former boss Michael Laudrup.

For a very long time, Swansea were not in the record books until Laudrup helped the team claim the Capital One Cup in February 2013. The club made headlines and were paraded around Wembley after their victory. That was the zenith for the South Wales side.

Midfielder Renilwe ‘Yeye’ Letsholonyane has received many praises from many for his exploits.
