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.

The former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich coach saved them from relegation and led them to a 15th-placed finish.

But Swansea are now bottom of the Premier League and four points from safety having won just three games this season.

When asked where it has gone wrong for them, Giggs said: "I don’t know, I’m not within the club.

"It’s been a really well-run club over the years and they’re an established Premier League team.

"But it’s tough now. You see the teams down there and it’s getting tougher and tougher.

"They’ve lost good players – Sigurdsson and Llorente – and probably never replaced them. That’s always a problem, you need good players."

Giggs was assistant manager to Louis van Gaal between 2014-16 but left after Jose Mourinho was given the top job.

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.
