I Would Go To A Club That Can Match My Managerial Ambition - Ryan Giggs

Ryan Giggs has told Soccer AM's Tubes that he is willing to speak to any clubs who can match his managerial ambitions. The Welshman left Manchester United last summer after almost 30 years at Old Trafford, the last two which were spent helping to coach the team in various capacities.

The 42years old has yet to take up a role, although he was interviewed for the Swansea City job after Francesco Guidolin's sacking in October, before Bob Bradley was eventually named the Italian's successor. Giggs, however, is philosophical about missing out on the position at the Liberty Stadium, but he is still keen to talk to other clubs that could match his coaching vision.

He said “I spoke to them, so I was pretty close [to getting the job]! It was a good experience for me to speak to them, but like I said before, it just was not to be but I also said that if there were teams that matched my ambitions, and the same philosophy and way of working - working with the youth system - realistic ambitions, a well-run club, then I would speak to them. I do not think that a club should just interview you, you should also interview them, and if they are not right for you, then you should have the right to turn them down. Sometimes it is just a casual chat and then it moves on a step and you will speak again. And then it can be a presentation, power point presentations that you have learned in your coaching badges and your pro licence. It is quite relaxed at first, but if that goes well then you take it on to the next level. And that is something from the Swansea interview I learned a lot and I think like anything, the more you do things, the better you get.”
