Ryan Giggs says Swansea 'did not meet my ambition' as he hits back at 'underwhelming interview' claims

Ryan Giggs has hit back at claims he had a poor interview with Swansea saying: ‘They did not meet my ambition.’

Giggs was a contender for the job at the Liberty Stadium after they sacked Francesco Guidolin on Monday.

The Welshman is keen to secure a management role after leaving Manchester United as assistant boss in the summer following a 24-year career at Old Trafford.
