Giggs 'more nervous as Wales boss' than he was as a player

Despite achieving so much in a glittering playing career, the ex-Man Utd man is feeling the tension ahead of his first game as a national team coach

Ryan Giggs admits he is nervous for the first time in his illustrious career as he prepares for his managerial debut with Wales.

The Manchester United legend won the Premier League title 13 times, as well as lifting the Champions League trophy twice, during over two decades of service to the club as a player.

Yet despite all he achieved on the field, Giggs - who picked up 64 caps for his country - is apprehensive ahead of Thursday's fixture against China in Nanning.
