Swansea City defender Garry Monk has welcomed the appointment of new manager Michael Laudrup.

The Danish legend, who has previous managerial experience at Brondby, Getafe, Spartak Moscow, Real Mallorca, is Swansea's third manager in four years.

"Its a great appointment for Swansea City," Monk told Swansea's official website.

"When you look at the candidates for the job, he was perfect choice.

"With the way we play, I don't think there are too many managers out there that believe in the style and system."
