Aaron Ramsey was poised to quit football after the World Cup before a change of coach at his club Nice persuaded him to change his mind.
The former Arsenal midfielder has been named captain of Wales following the retirement of Gareth Bale after Qatar 2022, after both players struggled as Rob Page’s side exited at the group stage without a victory.
Yet Sportsmail understands Nice’s decision to replace Lucien Favre with Didier Digard in January revitalised Ramsey, and he is now keen to continue with the Ligue 1 club, after agreeing an initial one-year contract last summer.
