Let’s take you straight to Wales camp as the former Manchester United legendary player is about to return to football 🏈🏈🏈🏈 management with he’s home 🏡 country. It is another tremendous news for Manchester United iconic take charge as manager.
Wales are reportedly considering Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs as potential successors to Rob Page, who recently completed a three-and-a-half-year tenure as manager. During his tenure, Page guided Wales to their first World Cup appearance in 64 years and a last-16 finish at Euro 2020. Despite these achievements, Page faced criticism following a disappointing Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
After discussions among FAW officials following the recent international break, there is a consensus that changes are necessary. The Times speculates that Ryan Giggs, the former Manchester United winger, could make a dramatic return to coaching with the Wales national team.
Page’s tenure ended after Wales suffered setbacks, including a poor World Cup campaign in Qatar and relegation from the Nations League. His difficulties continued with a play-off final loss to Poland, preventing Wales from qualifying for the upcoming Euros. Page was dismissed after recent defeats to Slovakia and a draw with Gibraltar.
Ryan Giggs, who temporarily stepped down as Wales manager in 2020 following legal issues (later resolved), has since taken on a director of football role at Salford City, a League Two club he co-owns with former Manchester United teammates. Although Giggs has managerial experience, his track record in coaching has been mixed.
Craig Bellamy, another potential candidate, remains under consideration alongside Giggs. The decision on Wales’ new manager will unfold in due course, with both candidates bringing varied experiences to the table.
