Wales boss Rob Page has confirmed that Gareth Bale will not be returning to the nation’s set-up as a coach following rumours of a move to Wrexham.
The former Tottenham and Real Madrid winger announced his retirement back in January following a glittering career. He confirmed the end of his playing career in a lengthy statement on social media at the age of 33.
Despite deciding to hang up his boots, there were rumours that Bale could make a swift return to the game. Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney attempted to lure him out of retirement following the Welsh club’s promotion to the Football League.
