Michael Laudrup 'ready to speak out about Swansea City sacking'

Michael Laudrup reportedly reveals that he plans to break his silence regarding matters that led to his dismissal as Swansea City manager.

Michael Laudrup has reportedly revealed that he is ready to tell his side of the story about his dismissal as Swansea City manager.

The Dane released a statement via the League Managers' Association almost a fortnight ago claiming that he is considering taking legal action against the club.

The Swans announced Laudrup's departure on February 4, with chairman Huw Jenkins claiming that the Premier League outfit would not be in a "stable environment" had the 49-year-old continued in his role.

According to Wales Online, while Laudrup has been advised by the LMA to keep quiet about the situation for the time being, the coach has told a number of publications in Denmark that he wants to break his silence.

"As you know, the LMA gave me the advice not to speak, as this might damage me how to proceed," Laudrup is quoted by bt.dk as saying. "But now that things have gone 11 to 12 days, and although there is still no clarity on my situation, I think that I should speak now."

Following Laudrup's sacking, reports emerged claiming that Swansea's decision to dismiss the Dane was partly down to the coach's trip to Paris following his side's defeat to West Ham United earlier this month.

Garry Monk is currently in charge of the first team.
