12 Candidates Who Could Be Sunderland's Next Manager

5. Michael Laudrup

A disciplinarian, a leader, a cool, suave customer. Michael Laudrup appears to be the complete package. He is responsible for an unbelievable Swansea side that has cemented itself among the Premier League top 10 candidates, unearthing some gems along the way. He departed from the Welsh side after falling out with the hierarchy, meaning that working under a Director of Football could be problematic, but his mega-millions contract with a club in Dubai expires next month meaning he should surely be a high target.
