Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has confirmed his interest in wanting to replace Chris Coleman as Wales manager.

Wales is on the lookout for a new boss after Coleman's resignation last month to take over at Sunderland, and former international Giggs has thrown his name into the ring.

Giggs had a four-match spell as interim boss at United in 2014 after David Moyes' sacking, while he also worked as an assistant to Louis van Gaal until 2016.

The 44-year-old, who was capped 64 times for Wales, has failed to land a permanent managerial role despite being linked with numerous jobs but he is attracted to the national coaching vacancy.

"Of course I'm interested," Giggs said.

"I played for Wales, I've said that I want to go back into coaching and that is obviously one of the top jobs.

"I played for United, I played for Wales, those are the two jobs.

"I've not spoken to anyone at the moment but I'd definitely be interested."

Wales qualified for UEFA Euro 2016, where it reached the semi-finals, having previously failed to reach a major tournament since 1958.

However, it was unable to book a spot at the FIFA 2018 World Cup in Russia as Coleman left for Championship outfit Sunderland.
