Swede wants to learn more about succeeding Toshack
Former Sweden coach Lars Lagerback has confirmed he would be prepared to discuss the prospect of being John Toshack's permanent successor with Wales.
Lagerback spoke to Football Association of Wales chief executive Jonathan Ford earlier this week and is open to the idea of taking charge of the national team.
Toshack resigned earlier this season and caretaker coach Brian Flynn has subsequently overseen Euro 2012 qualifying defeats by Bulgaria and Switzerland.
Flynn is keen to take the job on a permanent basis, but may face stiff competition from Lagerback after the 62-year-old acknowledged his interest.
Experience
"I want to hear a little bit more," said Lagerback. "You can say on paper it's an interesting job.
"You want to know about how they look upon the job and the organisation around the job.
"I was with the Swedish national team for 12 years before I stopped last year and reached five finals in a row.
"And that experience trying to get the national team through qualification and doing well in the finals (means) I have rather good experience in that respect."
Wales have not qualified for a major tournament since appearing at the World Cup in 1958, staged in Sweden.
Lagerback resigned as Sweden boss after the team failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, and led Nigeria during their disappointing campaign in South Africa.
