The Dane has played around 64 times between 1994 and 1996 for Real Madrid and worked last in Qatar before retiring beginning of this year.

Laudrup did lead the Swansea City in 2013 Europa League post achieving the League Cup. He said that he would be more than willing to train real in the future but a stable project is what he needs to work instead of simply taking over a side. There is no doubt that Laudrup is in love with Real Madrid as stated by one of his agents.

Swansea City returns to Liberty Stadium against Queens Park Rangers this weekend after back-to-back matches against Stoke City and Middlesbrough. Hoops left a disturbing start to the season, but, has had some of a revival under Steve McClaren late, winning three Championship games at the studio before their defeat to Norwich City on Loftus Road on Saturday. But Swansea has had the better of the recent meetings between the pages.

They are unbeaten in their last four matches against the capital and are fond of the fixture that took place just over six years ago when Michael Laudrup turned his thrash QPR 5-0 on the opening date of the year 2012/13 campaign to get his Swansea Career for a dream start. But the real question is what happened to the Swansea side that got on the pitch that day?

Former Swansea manager Michael Laudrup believes that Maurizio Sarri should be given some time at Chelsea. He said that the team is still a work in progress and that you cannot change a team during the pre-season. He said that the new manager needs to spend more time with his players in order to understand them and help them progress.

Michael Laudrup said that when a new manager comes to a side you need to give him time to adapt and that with the world cup Maurizio Sarri has barely had time to get all his players together. For this reason, he believes that fans and the media should be patient and allow the manager to work.

Swansea City are set to sell the Ayew brothers as expected in line with their new status. Andre Ayew is reportedly on the move to Turkey still. He was linked to Besiktas but it now seems like it is another side in the Turk Super League that would get his signature. Jordan Ayew is the subject of a £12 million deal with Leicester City, who are seeking a capable replacement for RiyadMahrez who recently moved to Manchester City.

Fans of the club are starting to get worried as new signings are yet to land. The club has been linked to Fernando Forestieri and Pedro Chirivella. The deals for Federico Fernandez and AlfieMawsonare yet to be settled and news is being awaited regarding Tom James and Bersant Celina.

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.

He said that it is not an easy job to manage a team such as Real Madrid and he believes that Zidane has been doing a great one. Michael Laudrup said that Zidane took charge of the team in a difficult period where the team was not performing well and that he has done a great thing turning things around.
