Manchester United great Ryan Giggs is one of the names
being considered for the managerial vacancy at Swansea
City, according to British media reports on Wednesday.
Swansea, second from bottom in the Premier League, are
looking for a new manager after American Bob Bradley
was sacked just 11 games into his tenure on Tuesday.
Welshman Giggs, 43, was interviewed twice prior to
Bradley’s appointment as the successor to Francesco
Guidolin in October.
Other men in the frame are said to include Swansea
native Chris Coleman, who led Wales to the semi-finals at
Euro 2016, and Gary Rowett, who was recently sacked by
second-tier Birmingham City.
First-team coaches Alan Curtis and Paul Williams have
been placed in temporary charge for Swansea’s home
game with Bournemouth on Saturday.
The most decorated footballer in British history, Giggs
briefly took charge at United following David Moyes’s
dismissal as manager in April 2014.
He had previously worked under Moyes and was Louis
van Gaal’s assistant from 2014 to 2016, but left United
when Jose Mourinho was appointed manager last July.
Reports at the time said Giggs had paid the price for an
underwhelming interview when he first went for the
Swansea job.
“I met with them a couple of times, but in the end there
was just mixed messages from the football side and the
ownership side of the club,” Giggs told ITV after missing
out to Bradley.
“I just felt their ambitions did not really match mine, so it
didn’t quite work out.”
