Michael Laudrup has confirmed that the Japanese Football Association (JFA) wants him to coach the country's national team, but the Dane will not leave his current club Lekhwiya until the end of the Qatar Stars League season in May.

Laudrup did not rule out coaching Samurai Blue but with an AFC Champions League campaign starting next week, and his current team sitting just one point behind leaders Al Sadd in the Stars League table, the 50-year-old is not interested in changing jobs just yet.

However, the former Real Madrid and Barcelona ace, who was sacked by Swansea in February 2014, added that he would consider taking the Japan job in three months' time.
