Giggs confirms he had Swansea talks

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.
