Joe Allen says Ryan Giggs has made his critics "eat their words" after Wales qualified for Euro2020.
Giggs' side sealed their spot in the tournament with a win over Hungary on Tuesday.
"He'd had stick. But he has delivered, simple as that," Stoke City midfielder Allen said of Manchester United legend Giggs.
"He came in off the back of a great manager who had huge success, and it was always going to be tough.
"But he has got us there. I think questions have been asked of everything really - selection, tactics - but nine times out of ten he has got it right.
"That is one of the big reasons we have made it. He has done the job - the ambition and target was to get to the Euros.
"Any way you get there is huge success, and I think a lot of people are going to have to eat their words."
