Michael Laudrup has resigned as coach of La Liga side Real Mallorca, indicating his relationship with club owner Lorenzo Serra Ferrer had become indefensible. Laudrup made the statement at a press conference - hours after the dismissal of his assistant Erik Larsen, who was sacked last night after criticizing Serra Ferrer.
"This situation cannot maintain like this. From now on, Mallorca will be whatever it is Serra Ferrer wants," Laudrup said. The 47-year-old former Denmark international had previously expressed his frustration at not having been able to add quality to his squad during the transfer window, mainly after the departure of Jonathan de Guzman to Villarreal.
Larsen went a step too far for the Mallorca board, though, when he reportedly described Serra Ferrer to www.sporten.dk as a "bad person" and someone "unfit to lead the club". Laudrup recognized last week managers being sacked was "a part of football" and his side had "no other option but to win on Sunday" at home to Sociedad - which they duly did, 2-1, to end a three-game losing streak in which they had failed to score a goal.
