Swansea City have a
plan in place should
Michael Laudrup leave
Swansea have Michael Laudrup
succession plan, says chairman
Swansea City have a plan in place
should Michael Laudrup leave the club,
chairman Huw Jenkins has admitted.
Manager Laudrup still has 16 months to
run on his contract, but has been linked
with Real Madrid in the wake of his
success at Swansea.
Jenkins has opened talks with the Dane
about an extension, but says the club are
prepared for any eventuality.
“We wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we
didn’t have some idea of who... will suit
Swansea City,” he said.
Swansea have already won the Capital
One Cup and are eighth in the Premier
League having reached the manager’s
pre-season target of 40 points.
His success has led to Laudrup’s name
being linked with managerial jobs in
Europe.
And he recently topped a poll of Real
fans asked who should replace Jose
Mourinho as manager.
Jenkins appears unconcerned: “The
first thing is, he intends to be here next
season,” he said.
“We will be having talks over the next
few weeks about a possible extension.”
Jenkins has had to deal with the
departure of three high-profile managers
in his time at Swansea.
He recruited Paulo Sousa to replace
Roberto Martinez; Brendan Rodgers
to replace Sousa and Laudrup when
Rodgers moved to Liverpool last
summer.
And Jenkins revealed the club’s financial
approach and
playing style helps
him filter potential
candidates.
“I think the fact that
we run our club a
certain way makes
it easier to narrow
down the hundreds
of players and
managers.
“And it’s not easy
to find the right
person with the
right personality to
suit the club at that
time.
“Because whatever
happens to Michael
Laudrup, whether
it’s two years time
or five years time
when he leaves our
club, it’s going to
be a big position to
fill and we need to
be ready for that.”
