Ryan Giggs has been named as the manager of Wales.

The former Manchester United legend has been signed on a four-year deal, succeeding Chris Coleman who left for Sunderland in November.

Giggs, 44, said in a statement: "I am so proud to have been given the honour of managing the national team.

"The challenges that we have ahead of us with the Nations League and qualification for Uefa Euro 2020 excite me a great deal.

"I can't wait to start working with the players as we prepare for those crucial games later in the year."
