Ryan Giggs wanted by Wales

After Chris Coleman's departure to Sunderland, Wales are currently in the hunt for a new man at the helm. Ryan Giggs is one of the candidates linked to the hot seat and Mark Hughes - the former Wales international and the current Stoke City manager has endorsed Giggs' cause.

When asked about Ryan Giggs' chances, Hughes said, "I think he Giggs would be a candidate and a good choice - I'd recommend him. I know from my experience of getting the Welsh job early in my career, they weren't ideal circumstances if I'm honest."
