Gary Speed has been tipped to be the future Wales boss, by the president of the FAW (Football Association of Wales), Des Shanklin. Is he the man for the job? Would he be up for it? The FAW (Football Association of Wales) president, Des Shanklin, says that Newcastle United midfielder Gary Speed is capable of managing Wales one day.

Shanklin was delighted when Speed chose to link-up with Mark Hughes' squad in the USA, despite being injured.

Shanklin said: "If ever there is a man for the future of Wales it is Gary Speed.

"The fact that he went on the trip to California speaks volumes about the type of man he is.

"He is Welsh through and through and has been a loyal servant for many years."
