Michael Laudrup founded this company in 1993, initially importing Spanish wine, which later grew to import wines globally and includes a Wine Academy.
In 2004, Laudrup was one of the founders of CEPOS, a Danish classical liberal/free-market conservative think-tank.
Michael Laudrup was born on June 15, 1964, in Frederiksberg, Denmark. He began his football career in the youth system of Brøndby before making his senior debut with KB in 1981. After a brief return to Brøndby, where he became the Danish Player of the Year in 1982, he moved to Italy to play for Lazio and later Juventus. He won the 1985–86 Serie A title and the Intercontinental Cup with Juventus. Laudrup then joined Barcelona in 1989, becoming a key part of Johan Cruyff’s “Dream Team.” Here, he secured four consecutive La Liga titles from 1991 to 1994 and the European Cup in 1992. His move in 1994 to arch-rivals Real Madrid was controversial but resulted in a fifth consecutive La Liga title in his first season with the club.
Laudrup made his debut for the Denmark national team on his 18th birthday in 1982 and went on to make 104 appearances, scoring 37 goals. He captained Denmark for 28 matches, including their victorious 1995 Confederations Cup campaign. His playing career also included stints with Vissel Kobe in Japan and Ajax in the Netherlands, where he retired as a player in 1998 after winning the Eredivisie title. Following his retirement, Laudrup transitioned into coaching, serving as assistant manager for the Denmark national team from 2000 to 2002, helping them reach the knockout stage of the 2002 World Cup.
His managerial career included leading Brøndby to a Danish Superliga title in 2005 and consecutive Danish Cup wins in 2003 and 2005. He was twice named Danish Manager of the Year. He also managed Getafe, guiding them to the final of the Copa del Rey and the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 2008. In 2012, Laudrup became the manager of Premier League club Swansea City, where he achieved a significant milestone by winning the League Cup in 2013, the club’s first major English trophy. After leaving Swansea in 2014, he moved to Qatar, managing Lekhwiya to a league and Crown Prince Cup double in 2015, and later Al Rayyan until 2018. Throughout his career as both a player and manager, Laudrup consistently demonstrated a commitment to attacking and possession-based football.
