DOHA: Danish Michael Laudrup, who guided Qatar Stars League (QSL) giants Lekhwiya to title glory a little over a year ago, is set to return for his coaching second stint. According to Al Rayyan website, 52-year-old Laudrup is set to replace popular coach Jorge Fossati who was named Qatar coach on Saturday. The former Barcelona and Real Madrid star, in his one year in Qatar, helped Lekhwiya to QSL title in the 2014-15 season. Al Rayyan, who resume training today for their third round of QSL action, will wait on Laudrup to arrive in Qatar and sign the contract later this week, details showed on Monday. According to a report on Al Kass website, the statement read: "Mr Laudrup had enjoyed success with Lekhwiya helping them win the QSL title and the Qatar Cup. Al Rayyan officials see him as the best replacement for Jorge Fossati who has since taken charge of the Qatar national squad. Al Rayyan needs a good coach and we need to prepare hard for the remainder of the season." Under Laudrup, Lekhwiya reached the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League in his one season in Qatar. Laudrup was sacked by Swansea in February 2014. Fossati, a hugely popular figure in Qatar, guided Al Rayyan to a stunning QSL title glory earlier this year in March with five rounds to spare. Al Rayyan have played two games this season, winning one and being held to a draw in the second.
