Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs is considering taking up a coaching role with the Welsh national team when he retires from playing.

The 35-year old admits the chance of managing his nation is something he would love to look into, especially to experience competing at a world-class tournament.

"I think if you've played for your country and want to go into coaching or management, that has got to be the ultimate job to do," said Giggs.

"The build-up [to a major tournament] gets you excited as a fan; I can only imagine what it's like as a player and I'll never experience that."

Giggs has represented Wales 64 times but has never played in a major tournament and says the plan for the future of Welsh football should be to aim high.

"We should be making sure long-term that Wales get to a major championship," he added.

"That would have a massive effect on kids coming through. If they're torn whether to choose rugby or football, which is a big issue in Wales, and they watch a European Championship or World Cup with their national team in, they might just concentrate on football."
