Giggs told Sky Sports he was interested in taking the vacant Wales manager's job in December last year

Giggs' only previous spell as a manager came when he took over at Manchester United for the final four games of the 2013-14 season following David Moyes' sacking.

Giggs was assistant to Louis van Gaal at United for the following two campaigns, but has been without a club since leaving his role in United's backroom staff when Jose Mourinho joined in 2016.
