John Toshack has resigned as manager of Wales.

Pressure increased on Toshack after Friday's 1-0 loss to Montenegro in the opening game of European Championship qualifying.

Ryan Giggs was quickly installed as one of the favourites to replace Toshack. Tony Pulis, the Stoke manager, has ruled himself out of contention.

"It is worth it? One day, if someone offered me the job it would be a great honour to manage my country, he said.

"But to work in such an intense situation as a manager of a Premier League club, where every day there are new things to do, and then to take it away from you at the age I am I'm not sure it is for me.

"Whoever takes over there are some good players in Wales and if you can get a good start and a few results the confidence will come back."
