Former Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup says he no longer has the desire to coach "smaller clubs" in Europe's top leagues.

The Dane was relieved of his duties at the Liberty Stadium in February, despite leading Swansea to a first major trophy less than a year earlier, and has since been replaced by Garry Monk.

While admitting he had been in negotiations over a return to club management, Laudrup believes there is no benefit in going to a team of a similar stature to his previous employers.

"I've had conversations with clubs in England and Spain – and now I will try very carefully not to sound or seem arrogant, because I'm not – but they are clubs at a level where I have been," he told Danish newspaper Politiken.

"I've tried the smaller clubs in the two major leagues, Getafe and Mallorca in Spain and Swansea in the Premier League, so I see no reason to repeat it.

"That leaves me with two options - to wait for an offer from a bigger club or say yes to any of the offers that have come from clubs outside Europe.

"I would rather have a job where I can look up in the table, not downwards."

Laudrup also ruled out a move to France, where big-spending Monaco are currently on the hunt for a new boss, owing to his inability to speak the language.

"I have received offers from French clubs, also recently, but I nicely said no thanks," he added.

"I cannot speak the language well enough and I will not depend on interpreters and risk misunderstandings in the daily work - that I have experienced in Moscow [with Spartak]. So, no, I'm not going to France.

Well so much for the Laudrup hype. Not long ago he was speculated in connection to Real Madrid. Funny stuff.

The Brazilian Football Federation apparently wanted Mourinho to become the new manager, however he said no, according to Marca.

by Art Morte Sat 12 Jul - 21:31:32

I don't think managing Brazil is such a great job right now, especially if you're already managing one of the richest clubs in the world.

"Technically" this is correct, but dual nationals could be persuaded to join a national team due to pay from friendlies and tournaments.

by rwo power Thu 17 Jul - 4:50:45

@Motogp69
Well, that only works as long they never played a competitive match, plus there were some other strings attached. Anyway, my point was more that you only have a select pool of players, while clubs theoretically can buy *anyone* their money allows.

Antonio Conte apparently going to take over at PSG according to CDS... waiting for a french media to confirm. Nothing yet.

by Andrew Wed 23 Jul - 12:10:43

Oh they hype Conte will get in here if he indeed joins PSG.

People that were saying he's useless in Europe will worship him as God.

by Kaladin Wed 23 Jul - 12:15:50

Didn't Blanc extend with PSG?

Offloading him for Conte is a bit unfair imo, its not like he did a horrible job last season

by sportsczy Wed 23 Jul - 13:53:13

PSG have told l'Equipe that they have never contacted Conte and that the story is pure fiction... CDS stikes again lol.
