Michael Laudrup: 'I don't want mid-table job'

Former Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup says that he will not return to the Premier League this summer to join a side in mid-table.

Former Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has insisted that he will not return to the Premier League this summer to join a mid-table side.

The Dane has been linked with the job at West Ham United, which is expected to become vacant this summer when Sam Allardyce leaves Upton Park.

However, it appears that Laudrup, who is currently managing Qatari outfit Lekhwiya, has ruled himself out of the running.

He told Marca: "It's a time when many rumours appear, but there is nothing concrete. I am in the process of renewing [my contract] with Lekhwiya, they want me here. I will decide it in two weeks.

"I am not going to accept an offer from a mid-table club in England or Spain. They are experiences that I have already lived and, at this stage of my life as a coach, I look for new things.

"If a big club comes [calling], I will not say no to them, but I would like to try [coaching] in the United States if not given the opportunity."

Laudrup left Swansea in February 2014 after 18 months in charge.
