Well could be a good addition to Alan "kettle on" Curtis, does that mean someone is leaving the club? |  |

I'd make a guess that this means the contract talks with Laudrup are going along well. On Wieghorst, just going on the Wiki page, it sounds like he was doing well as a manager in Denmark, I wonder why he is taking an assistants job? [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

It says there will be a press-conference friday, and he will join the same day. This comes as a surprise for DBU (Danish FA), as Wieghorst has a contract a U-21 national coach untill this summer.
We will see tomorrow.... |  |

He would like to work with ML...! And being in Swansea, he will have some amazing materials to work with....
I believe it is a very good signing. He have done very well, both as player & manager. Speaks fluent english, after his years in Celtic. As coach of the National U-21, he was to work with the ideas of Morten Olsen & Michael Laudrup, from the days ML was assistant to National coach MO. He knows excately what style swansea are to play.
Very interesting.... | |

Either means Laudrup is commiting himself to the club
or if that's not the case
Succession planning...?

Here's a story which will answer most questions. International coaching experience might be the key to this addition.
"Laudrup lines up Wieghorst"
Last Updated: February 7 2013, 19:13 GMT
Swansea are reportedly set to appoint former Denmark and Celtic midfielder Morten Wieghorst as Michael Laudrup's assistant.
The 41-year-old has been in charge of the Denmark Under-21 side, but is to give up the role to move to the Liberty Stadium, and his switch could be confirmed before the weekend.
Erik Larsen has been working as Laudrup's right-hand man so far this season, but it is believed he will be moved into a position with more focus on scouting, while Alan Curtis will remain as a first-team coach.
During his time in Glasgow Wieghorst helped Celtic end Rangers' run of nine-straight SPL titles, before being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome in 2000 and making a remarkable return to resume his playing career.
Wieghorst, who played alongside Laudrup for Denmark, left the Hoops in 2002 to become one of his former team-mate's first signings at Brondby.
The highlights of his managerial career to date have been the consecutive Danish Cup triumphs he oversaw with Nordsjaelland, before taking the reins of the national under-21 side.
He was also viewed as a potential successor to Morten Olsen, with the boss of the senior Denmark side set to step down next year, but the chance to return to club football has been too strong a draw.
The move to bring in Wieghorst would suggest Laudrup has no intention of leaving the Liberty Stadium, having been linked with Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Despite the speculation, the Swans boss does not believe there is any need to rush a decision over extending his contract, which runs out at the end of next season.
Laudrup has taken the club to new heights after building on the foundations laid by Brendan Rodgers.
The Swans sit in the top half of the Barclays Premier League table and will play in their first major cup final when they face npower League Two Bradford in the Capital One Cup final at Wembley later this month.
Chairman Huw Jenkins is keen to tie his manager to a longer-term deal and avoid a repeat of the departures of Rodgers and Roberto Martinez before him.
But with that Wembley final, important Premier League games and next week's warm-weather training camp in Dubai on the horizon, Laudrup does not believe his contract is a matter that needs to be dealt with immediately.
He said: "I think for me the present is more important than the future, we have so many things coming up now and I already have a contract for next season so it is not urgent for me.
"We have some very important things to deal with right now. I am talking to the chairman a lot of times every week and we talk about a lot of things."
But several of Laudrup's players have recently committed their futures to the club, and goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel became the third this week after agreeing a two-and-a-half-year deal through to 2015.
He joins midfielder Leon Britton and defender Garry Monk in putting pen to paper, and Laudrup said: "It's good to get the players signed up, they are important to us.
"We need to do it quick sometimes because it is difficult to compare and compete with the salaries of other clubs.
"You never know their other possibilities, you have to ask them, but we have to be realistic and know how it is here and the structure is working well.
"We know other clubs pay more money but players sign because they want to stay here which is good for us."

Thanks Dav
I had seen that article already and I do think that Weighorst sees this as a chance to get back into club management, at a whole different level to where he was in Denmark and I'm certain from his point of view...if it all works out and he and Laudrup are successful, then when ML does go, he's in position A to take over. I just can't see a downside to this for us, ML, Weighorst...another Huw Jenkins masterstroke, all under the radar as ever. | |

Sounds like a great addition to the back room staff, someone who shares ML views on the way the game should be played.
Also a view on how the contract negotiations are going. |  |

According to the Danish FA (DBU) they can recall MW if they need him on the National team.
With Denmark playing two really important matches in March, it is quite possible that the long time national coach Morten Olsen, will step back if we fail to win both matches and stay in race for the WC. And thereby "forcing" MW to be new temporary national coach.
So hopefully Denmark will win those matches :D | | | |

They can't force MW if he prefers staying at swansea. They can give him the option to take over the job as national coach without compensating Swansea, but that is about it.
The guy still has to make a choice himself.
What that choice would be, if he had to make, I have no clue about, though.
He's handling three more matches for the u21 danish team while he stays at swansea too, it seems, to ensure a proper transition for the u21's. I guess he must have quite a lot of work to do in that period. |  |
