Osian Roberts has ruled himself out of the running for the Wales managerial role after committing his future to Como.
Football Association of Wales (FAW) bosses are in the early stages of their search for a successor to Rob Page – who left his role as boss after the June friendlies against Gibraltar and Slovakia.
Former Wales assistant coach Roberts – who helped guide Como into Serie A last season – was among the names being considered for the vacancy.
However, Roberts has committed his future to Italian outfit Como, adding that he was grateful to be approached by the FAW about the position.
In a statement published on social media, Roberts said: “I would like to thank the Football Association of Wales for expressing an interest in approaching me regarding the role of Wales national team manager.
“As an incredibly passionate and proud Welshman I would love to become manager of Wales one day.
“Currently, however, I am on an incredible journey with Como 1907 having helped lead them to an historical promotion to Serie A.
“I am committed to this wonderful club and our exciting project until at least 2026 and am forever thankful for their support and faith in me.”
