Swansea City have appointed Michael Laudrup as their new manager, ending the search for a replacement for Brendan Rogers, who left the Liberty Stadium for Liverpool in May.Laudrup, 48, had been strongly linked with the vacancy in recent days and reportedly impressed the Swansea board in a series of meetings.
He has managed at Brondby, Getafe, Spartak Moscow and Real Mallorca and had spoken of his desire to take up the challenge of bossing a Premier League club.
Swansea finished in 11th place in their first season in the top flight after Rogers had guided them to promotion in a thrilling play-off final against Reading at Wembley.
Ex-Swans manager Jan Molby believes his Danish compatriot is the perfect fit at the Liberty Stadium, with a managerial philosophy that suits the club's widely-praised passing style.
"He was strongly influenced by Johan Cruyff when he was at Barcelona in the late 1980s and early 1990s,'' Molby told BBC Sport Wales.
