Giggs lined up for new career

(07-09-2010) Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is being lined up to take over the managerial reins of Wales. According to reports, the Welsh FA want the 36-year-old to replace John Toshack when he stands down. The 61-year-old Toshack is expected to stand down after six years at the helm later this week. "Ryan has always been seen as the long-term replacement. He would certainly galvanise the players. He could be offered a deal where he can carry on playing,” said a Wales FA insider on Monday. This would mirror the manner Mark Hughes took on the Wales job while he was still playing at Blackburn. Wales have failed to reach the finals of a major competition since 1958. They are currently competing in the qualifiers for Euro 2012 in a group with Bulgaria, Switzerland, Montenegro and arch-rivals England.
