Giggs rules himself out of running for Swansea job
Print Edition
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has ruled himself out of the running for the vacant manager’s job at English Premier League struggler Swansea City following the dismissal of Paul Clement.
With the Swans looking for a third boss in less than 12 months, Giggs had been talked about in relation with the role along with Ronald Koeman, Tony Pulis and Louis van Gaal.
Giggs was asked if he was interested in managing a club he was linked with before Bob Bradley was appointed in October 2016. “No. I’ve spoken to them before, last time before they appointed Bob Bradley,” Giggs told Sky Sports.
Giggs said the sales of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente in the summer had weakened the Swansea squad.
Giggs served as caretaker boss at United in 2014 following the sacking of David Moyes and was assistant manager under Van Gaal.
But despite being linked with a number of jobs, he has not managed to find a role since leaving United in 2016.
Clement saved Swansea from relegation after being appointed in January but his departure was confirmed less than 48 hours after the 1-3 loss at Everton on Monday — Swansea’s 9th defeat in 11 games.
Swansea, which is owned by American investors Stephen Kaplan and Jason Levien, yesterday announced that long-serving midfielder Leon Britton, who has been part of the coaching staff, had been put in caretaker charge and would oversee tomorrow’s match with Crystal Palace.
