Giggs: 'No approach from Swansea City'

Reuters

Swansea City has yet to make contact with Ryan Giggs about taking over the reigns from manager Francesco Guidolin, the former Manchester United midfielder confirmed Friday.

Guidolin is under serious pressure to steer the Swans into clear waters following a rocky 1-1-3 start to the Premier League campaign.

On Wednesday, it was reported Guidolin is a "dead man walking" at Liberty Stadium, although the club's new majority owners are apparently reluctant to change managers so early in the season.

For his part, Giggs is in no rush to return to the touchline after leaving United in the summer. He previously served as an assistant to David Moyes and Louis van Gaal over the past three seasons.

"There has been no approach from Swansea City but, in any case, there is a manager in place at the club," the Welshman told talkSPORT. "I'm happy with life outside of the game right now and enjoying media work.

"At some stage further down the line, it's no secret I'd like to get back into football as a coach. But that's for later, not now."

The 42-year-old, who was also linked to the Nottingham Forest bench, has already completed his coaching badges.
