Wales Brendan Rodgers News

Swansea City are through to the quarter finals of the League Cup for the first time in the club's history, after they beat Liverpool 3-1 tonight. Chico, Nathan Dyer and Jonathan de Guzman got the goals for Michael Laudrup's side.

It was the first time Swansea faced their former manager Brendan Rodgers since he left to join Liverpool in the summer. He took midfielder Joe Allen with him to Anfield, and the Welsh international started tonight, but ended up on the losing side.

Swansea City's reward for creeping past Crawley Town last night is a Capital One Cup fourth round tie against the competition holders, Liverpool. Of course, that means a reunion with former manager Brendan Rodgers, the first such meeting since he left the Liberty Stadium for Anfield in the summer.

Michael Laudrup says he won't make 'change for change's sake' at Swansea City.

Speaking at his first press conference since taking over as Swans Manager, Laudrup confirmed that he'd be bringing in Eric Larssen as part of his backroom team.

The former Danish international, who's signed a two-year contract at the Liberty Stadium, replaces Brendan Rodgers, who left to manage Liverpool.

Giving his reasons for taking the helm at Swansea, Laudrup said:

"I like the philosophy of the club. That's why I agreed to join. It's a very nice place, although it is raining a little more than Majorca!"

Swansea finished 11th in their first season in the Premier League. Their challenge is to improve on that this season.

Michael Laudrup has been officially unveiled as Swansea City's new manager at a press conference this afternoon.

The 48-year-old former Denmark international has signed a two-year contract at the Liberty Stadium following the departure of Brendan Rodgers.

He admitted he didn't know much about Swansea City and had to research the club before accepting the offer.

The former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder also said he wouldn't be making any changes in a hurry.

"The people I talked to were very positive (about Swansea). People said 'Michael it would be a good club for you," he said.

"I would like a new beginning, to come in and see how things are here. Change for change's sake - I don't think that is good."
