Ryan Giggs: No contact from Swansea City about becoming manager

Former Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs has said he has not received an approach from Swansea City about succeeding Francesco Guidolin.

Sources told ESPN FC on Thursday that Giggs had emerged as Swansea's top target should they part company with Guidolin, whose position has come under scrutiny after an indifferent start to the Premier League season.

However, United legend Giggs says he has not heard anything from the Swans and is in no hurry to start his managerial career.

"There has been no approach from Swansea City but, in any case, there is a manager in place at the club," Giggs 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."

Giggs is currently out of work after ending his long association with United earlier this summer following the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager.

After finishing his playing career, Giggs served as assistant to David Moyes and then Louis van Gaal at United in the last three years, but saw his role taken up by Rui Faria after Mourinho's appointment.

The 42-year-old turned down the chance to stay on at Old Trafford in a different role, with Giggs keen to become a manager in his own right.
