Ex-Swansea boss Laudrup confirmed as Lekhwiya manager

Sacked Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup has been confirmed as new coach of Qatar's Lekhwiya.

The Dane famously rejected the prospect of interviewing for the Southampton and West Bromwich Albion jobs after claiming he was ready to work at a higher level.

However, he's now taken charge of Lekhwiya in Qatar.

Doha-based Lekhwiya are the champions of Qatar and were previously coached by Belgian Eric Gerets.
