Ryan Giggs has confirmed he did meet with Swansea City to discuss the manager’s job but said the move did not happen because “their ambitions didn’t really match mine”. The American Bob Bradley was appointed on 3 October to replace Francesco Guidolin, who was sacked following a poor start to the season. The Daily Mail reported Giggs had planned a backroom team, including his former Manchester United team-mate Nicky Butt, but was overlooked after an “underwhelming” interview. I met with them a couple of times but in the end there was just mixed messages from the football side and the ownership side of the club,” Giggs told presenter Mark Pougatch. Bradley, who has described his appointment as a “special” opportunity for US football, begins his Swansea tenure with a trip to Arsenal on Saturday.
