Monk – It’s A Great Appointment

The appointment of Michael Laudrup is hailed by captain Garry Monk as a ‘great’ one

Monk said “The name itself [of Laudrup] and the career he had as a player [is impressive enough], but the pedigree he brings you probably can’t ask for any more.

“When I think about it how we can attract a name of that calibre to Swansea City it’s just amazing when you think about.

“I don’t think we can help but learn from someone like that. It’s a great appointment.

“As sad as we were to see Brendan go we have to adapt and move on quickly because that is the nature of the game. All the focus now from the players will be with the new manager.

“How far we have come we deserved to be linked with these sort of people. It’s obviously a privilege for us to have a high calibre manager but it’s also a privilege for him to come and manage this group of players.”
