Robert Page: Wales caretaker boss should take charge at Euros if Ryan Giggs cannot – Iwan Roberts

Former Wales defender and fellow pundit Danny Gabbidon also believes Page has now made his case to remain at the helm if Giggs’ absence continues.

“He’s the man, Pagey’s the man, he ticks all the boxes, it makes sense in everything you think about – continuity, the players know him,” Gabbidon told Elis James’ Feast of Football podcast.

“If a manager was to come in now it could totally disrupt everything, not just tactically but the whole dressing room as well if the players don’t take to him, this was an audition the last six days and he’s passed it with flying colours.”

The pundits’ opinions are echoed by Daniel James, whose late header sealed the win against the Czech Republic in Cardiff.

Asked if Page could lead Wales through the Euros in Giggs’ absence, James said: “Definitely, he’s been unbelievable as you’ve seen.

“Whether he’s been manager or not he’s been such a big part of this squad.

“He’s taken the role on so well, nothing has changed really, he gets his points across so well.”
