Wales are set to name Ryan Giggs as their new boss.

The FAW last week interviewed bookies favourite Giggs, Craig Bellamy , Chris Coleman's assistant Osian Roberts and Mark Bowen.

They have now called a press conference for Monday after chief executive Jonathan Ford spent the weekend trying to tie down Giggs.

The Manchester United legend is their preferred candidate ahead of Bellamy.

Wales have been searching for a new boss after Coleman's shock decision to quit for Sunderland despite being offered a new deal.

Giggs,44, made 64 appearances for his country from 1991-2007, including 10 friendlies.

Roberts has support among the existing squad to continue coaching the squad in some capacity in another possible assistant role.

Giggs, 44, who has been out of work since leaving his role as Manchester United’s No2 in 2016, admitted last month that he was interested in replacing Coleman and described managing Wales as “one of the top jobs”.

Wales do not play again until March when they are due to participate in the China Cup in the Far East.

But a new manager is due to be appointed before the Uefa Nations League draw takes place in Switzerland on January 24.
