Laudrup tells Spanish media Tuesday he is leaving after his assistant Erik Larsen was fired for calling Mallorca vice president Lorenzo Serra Ferrer a “bad person.”

Laudrup says `it can not be that every day I go home frustrated and angry.”

The former Danish player had been critical of the club’s decision to sell several players this offseason.

Mallorca is in 11th place after winning its second game of the season on Sunday.
