  • The Barcelona legend has revealed that he is deeply disappointed by the Swans decision to part ways with him, having seen the team win just one of their last ten Premier League fixtures.



    In a statement issued by the League Managers Association, the 49-year-old said: "I am deeply disappointed to have been dismissed as manager of Swansea City. In particular, the manner in which it happened and the actions the club has taken since notifying me in the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary.



    "I am, of course taking legal advice and the LMA have already written to the club asking for a proper explanation as to why I was summarily dismissed.



    "Until we receive the response I am unable to say any more about the termination but I do want to take this early opportunity to thank the Swansea City fans for their continued support and say it has been an honour to manage this great football club."



    Laudrup led the Swans to their first major trophy in the club's history by winning the Capital One Cup last season.
