Ryan Giggs has reiterated that he is looking to make the step into the world of football management, but only if he can find a side that matches his own ambitions.
The Manchester United playing legend was recently interviewed for the Swansea City job, only to be overlooked by the club's American owners who favoured the unheralded Bob Bradley.
Giggs, who is currently working as a pundit after departing Man United in the summer following a near 30-year association with the Premier League giants, is willing to speak to any teams that match his aspirations.
"I spoke to [Swansea], so I was pretty close [to getting the job]. It was a good experience for me to speak to them, but like I said before, it just was not to be," he told Sky Sports News. "But I also said that if there were teams that matched my ambitions, and the same philosophy and way of working - working with the youth system - realistic ambitions, a well-run club, then I would speak to them.
"I do not think that a club should just interview you, you should also interview them, and if they are not right for you, then you should have the right to turn them down. Sometimes it is just a casual chat and then it moves on a step and you will speak again. And then it can be a presentation, power point presentations that you have learned in your coaching badges and your pro licence.
"It is quite relaxed at first, but if that goes well then you take it on to the next level. And that is something from the Swansea interview I learned a lot and I think like anything, the more you do things, the better you get."
Giggs spent the final two years of his time with the Red Devils working as part of the club's coaching staff, alongside David Moyes and then Louis van Gaal.
