reports that Giggs was "formally interviewed" for the job this morning.

He worked as coach under David Moyes in 2013 and spent four games in charge as interim manager following the Scot's sacking in April 2014.

Prior to Carlos Carvalhal being appointed as Paul Clement's successor at Swansea, Giggs was again linked with the top job at the Liberty Stadium.

But Giggs, 44, when asked whether he still wanted the job, said: "No. I spoke to them before they appointed Bob Bradley. So, no."

Giggs and Bradley both interviewed for the Swansea job last year before the American was appointed manager on October 3.

Bradley's disaster spell in charge of the Welsh club lasted just 85 days.

Alan Curtis replaced him as caretaker boss before Clement, 45, came in last season.
