Brian Laudrup has been let go from a punditry role on Danish TV after appearing in an advert for the Dubai tourism board, with the Rangers and Denmark legend hitting back at criticism that he is greedy.
The 53-year-old, a European Championship winner in 1992, was meant to be part of broadcaster TV2’s team for November’s tournament but they announced that he was no longer “compatible” with them because of “the campaign he is participating in right now.” It comes amid a significant level of debate in Denmark over whether the country should pull out of the tournament due to human rights concerns.
Denmark last week confirmed that their captain would join several other UEFA nations - England, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales - by wearing an armband with ‘One Love’ on it to promote equality during the tournament.
