Danish legend Michael Laudrup turns down national team job
Copenhagen: Legendary Danish footballer Michael Laudrup has rejected an offer to succeed Morten Olsen as the coach of the Denmark football team.
Claus Bretton-Meyer, CEO of the Danish Football Association said that Laudrup was always among the candidates for the post, but he ended negotiations too early because he believes that this job is not right for him now for personal reasons.
Laudrup was the leading candidate since Olsen announced last March that he would leave the national team by the end of the UEFA Euro 2016 in France.
However, Olsen declared his departure last Wednesday after Denmark was eliminated from the European competition in the playoffs against Sweden.
Laudrup previously coached prominent European clubs Getafe, Real Mallorca and Swansea City and was recently named as a candidate to lead the Mexican national team.
Laudrup, a former Danish midfielder of Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, is one of the most known footballers to have emerged from Denmark.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
