Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has become the latest name linked with the vacant manager’s job at Southampton. The Welsh wizard, who was assistant to Louis van Gaal when he took over the reins at Old Trafford, has been out of work since turning down the opportunity to join Jose Mourinho’s coaching staff and has now become a TV pundit.
 

Having been linked with Swansea City and Middlesbrough in recent times, The Sun reports that Giggs feels he’s ready to coach in the Premier League and that he is keen to land the job on the south-coast.
 

The Saints have announced the departure of Claude Puel with immediate effect and a club statement read; “Southampton Football Club can today confirm that it has terminated the contract of Claude Puel with immediate effect. Everyone at Southampton would like to express our thanks to Claude for his hard work and commitment this year. The highlight of the season was a memorable day at Wembley in the EFL Cup Final, a day our fans will always treasure. We wish Claude well for the future”.
