Newly appointed as the head coach of the Swansea club in the English Premier League is Michael Laudrup.

The legendary Danish footballer, who has represented teams such as "Real Madrid" and "Barcelona" during his career, will be replacing Brendan Rodgers, who has moved to "Liverpool".

"I am very pleased with this decision," said the specialist who signed a two-year contract on his 48th birthday. "It will be a new experience for me - I am looking forward to starting work."

Throughout his career, Laudrup has managed teams such as "Brondby", "Getafe", Moscow's "Spartak", and "Mallorca". It is expected that he will continue Rodgers' attacking football philosophy with the Swansea team.
