Paper Round: Ryan Giggs snubbed by Swansea after interview flop

Swansea snub Giggs

Ryan Giggs had already pencilled in his plans for a backroom team at Swansea ahead of his interview for the Premier League job only for the club to snub him and appoint Bob Bradley, reports the Daily Mail.

The Swans hierarchy apparently had concerns over Giggs' lack of experience when they were looking for a replacement for Francesco Guidolin, but the Manchester United legend was still front-runner for the job prior to a disappointing interview that allowed former USA coach Bradley to sneak in.

Southgate lays down the law

Gareth Southgate has made sure that Wayne Rooney knows who’s boss by telling the England captain that he will play where the interim manager picks him, reports The Sun. Southgate has taken over the national team for four games while the Football Association search for a long-term replacement for Sam Allardyce, but is keen to put some tactical restraints on Rooney, who was previously told he could play "wherever he wants” by Big Sam.

" I think Wayne can play in any number of different positions," Southgate said. "The decision with Wayne is who is the best leader for this moment and there’s no reason to change that."
