• Manager’s critics should ‘eat their words’, says midfielder• Aaron Ramsey says Wales learned from 2018 failure
Ryan Giggs’s critics should “eat their words” after the Wales manager led his country to Euro 2020 in his first qualifying campaign in charge, according to the midfielder Joe Allen. Wales mustered three points from their opening three qualifying matches but after victory over Hungary on Tuesday they are unbeaten in six matches and Wales are heading to a third major tournament finals.
Many supporters were sceptical about Giggs’s appointment last year, unconvinced the former
Manchester United winger was the best candidate to replace Chris Coleman, who led Wales to a Euro 2016 semi-final, but Allen feels the decision has been vindicated.
