Wales coach Giggs: Sir Alex in regular contact

Wales coach Ryan Giggs has revealed former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is in regular contact.

Giggs is preparing to face Hungary in Cardiff after they beat Azerbaijan on Saturday.

Victory will clinch second place in Group E and book automatic qualification to the Euros behind first-placed Croatia.

Giggs, 45, admits his former mentor Sir Alex has been in touch: “He wished me good luck the other day for the game, which he always does.

“It is an exciting challenge. It is in our hands.

“We have put ourselves in a great position but that is all we are in, a position, we still have one game to go.

“There's a really good atmosphere at the moment and we're in good form.

“But it doesn't count for anything if we don't finish the job off."
