Giggs a candidate to replace Bradley as Swansea boss

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is a candidate to replace Bob Bradley as Swansea manager, according to the BBC.

Giggs has been out of work since leaving United in the summer to pursue a career as manager and was turned down by Swansea before they appointed Bradley at the start of October.

However, Bradley’s tenure only lasted 11 matches before Swansea made the decision to sack the American following an abysmal spell under the 58-year-old and now the Welsh outfit are reportedly considering a move for Giggs.

The 43-year-old’s only experience as manager came during the final four matches of the 2013/14 campaign when Giggs was placed in interim charge of United following David Moyes’ sacking, before spending two years as assistant manager to Louis van Gaal.

It remains to be seen whether Giggs would even take the Swansea job after being told he interviewed badly when he tried to get the role earlier this season. Former Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett, as well as Wales manager Chris Coleman and ex-Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew are also in the frame to take the vacant position at Swansea.

Swansea are currently second from bottom in the Premier League and four points from safety after only managing three wins in their opening 18 matches.
