Ryan Giggs ruled out as next coach of Swansea City - sources

Swansea City have ruled Ryan Giggs out of the running to take over as manager of the Premier League club, sources confirmed to ESPN FC on Thursday.

Giggs, the Manchester United legend and former assistant manager at Old Trafford, was the early favourite to succeed Bob Bradley, who was dismissed this week after only 11 games in charge.

However, as earlier reported by BBC Sport, Swansea are not considering Giggs as Bradley's successor, with the focus switched to other targets.

A source close to Giggs said the 43-year-old "was unconvinced by the prospect of the job and did not pursue the chance to stake his claim to succeed Bradley.
