Ryan Giggs has confirmed he held talks with Swansea City about the manager's role before Bob Bradley replaced Francesco Guidolin.
Bradley became the first American to manage a Premier League club when he was appointed on 3 October.
Manchester United and Wales legend Giggs met with the Swans, but said the club's ambition did not match his.
"I was enjoying a bit of travelling and I got a call off Swansea and I met them a couple of times," he told ITV Sport.
"But in the end it was just mixed messages really from the football side and the ownership side of the club and I felt their ambitions didn't really match mine so it didn't quite work out.
