There have been rumors that Michael Laudrup might be up for a position with Real Madrid but he has denied these rumors. He says that he did not offer himself and neither has he been approached by the club representatives. He is considered as a dark horse for a managerial position in Real Madrid. He would not consider the post either till summer months when he would be ready for a return to coaching classes.
The last few seasons he has spent in Qatar with teams like al-Rayyan and Lekhwiya. This had been his involvement till he left Swansea City and reports have come in from Spain that he rejected any opportunity in Madrid, at least till the season ends. Laudrup is 54 years of age and he says that he had not received any approach from the team. He had played for this club for a period of two years after he signed up with arch-rivals club, FC Barcelona.
“He is not sure he wants to take up the job yet since he is not ready“; however, after spending three years being in Qatar he feels that he wants to be around his family more and with his grandchildren. He had started playing at the age of 17 and then coached in different parts of the world. He feels that now is the time he needs to spend more time with his family. He feels that “being with his grandchildren“ will also help him enjoy things that he had to give up to pursue a football career early in his life.
He would continue to comment on Champions and Premier League as a commentator which would keep him linked to the sport in some way.
How Real Madrid's internal power play made them unmanageable.
