Southampton do not want Ryan Giggs as their new manager as former Wales winger suffers fresh coaching snub

Southampton have no interest in appointing Ryan Giggs as their new manager as they look for a replacement for Claude Puel.

The south-coast club are in the process of replacing Frenchman Puel, who was sacked last Wednesday.

It was revealed last week that the former Manchester United winger saw Southampton as an ideal place to take his first steps in management.
