Wales appoints Giggs as manager

Monday, 15 January 2018


Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has been appointed Wales manager on a four-year contract.

The 44-year-old, who played as a winger, succeeds Chris Coleman, who left for Sunderland in November, says BBC.

Coleman's assistant Osian Roberts, former Wales striker Craig Bellamy and Mark Bowen were also interviewed.

Giggs had long been a target for the Football Association of Wales (FAW) and was the favourite for the role once Coleman departed after Wales failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
