Dragons were drawn with Denmark and Republic of Ireland in the new Uefa Nations League on Wednesday
RYAN GIGGS has admitted holding talks with Paul Scholes to join his Welsh revolution.
The Manchester United legend was appointed as Chris Coleman's replacement earlier this month.
And Giggs wants his former Old Trafford colleague alongside him in the dug out as the Wales boss looks to assemble his backroom team.
As reported by the , the 44-year-old said: "I speak to Scholesy all the time.
"I saw him Saturday at Salford City - but there are no names who are concrete.
"I am talking to lots of people and I do not want to mention individuals.
"I obviously know Scholesy really well. We will see what happens."
Giggs continued: "It is a balance. A balance about getting experience, fresh ideas – someone who can improve the Welsh team.

"It is my first job (in management), so if you have someone with experience, it is a bonus.
"We are getting there (with coaching team). Nothing concrete at the moment – only Tony Roberts as goalkeeper coach who will carry on, someone I know well from my playing career with Wales.

"Hopefully in the next few weeks, we will have the appointments sorted."
Giggs was in Lausanne yesterday for the Uefa Nations League draw.
His Wales side were grouped with Denmark and Republic of Ireland.
The clash with the Irish will see him come face-to-face on the touchline with his old United skipper Roy Keane, who is the assistant manager for the Republic.
Giggs added: “I am excited. My first engagement as Welsh coach and now we know who we will be up against in this new Nations League.
"Roy has been at the same hotel, so we had a chat this morning.
"Obviously two people I know well — Martin and especially Roy.
"So it will be good to pick my brains against them.
“When I was in the dug-out at Old Trafford (during his brief 2014 spell in caretaker charge) I was against former team-mates and that is part of the job.”
