Wales boss Speed wants Man Utd legend Giggs to be successor

Wales boss Gary Speed wants Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs to be groomed as his successor.

Speed admits he does not expect the Manchester United star to return to play for Wales but he has held talks about Giggs joining his backroom team.

New Wales boss Speed said: "It would be great if Ryan got involved in the Welsh football infrastructure somewhere.

"As when I move on and go somewhere else, if Ryan is already involved then he would be the perfect one."

He also told Sky Sports: "I've spoken to Ryan but I'm not sure what his plans are.

"I'm not sure he'll be coming back to play but if we can get him on board in any way it would be great.

"He is still a great player and he doesn't know what his future holds."
