Hartson keen on Wales job

Ex-striker changes stance over Wales post



John Hartson has confirmed he would be 'honoured' to take over as Wales manager - and has changed his mind on the possibility of working with rival candidate Raymond Verheijen.

The position became vacant after the death of Gary Speed in November and Verheijen, who served as the 42-year-old's assistant, has claimed it was Speed's wish for him and fellow coach Osian Roberts to take over the side ahead of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.

Hartson initially said today that it was an "absolute disgrace" for Verheijen to make that claim on Twitter and said he could not work with someone who wanted the top job.

But the 36-year-old has since reconsidered and said on Friday: "Raymond has come out in the past and put it on Twitter that it was Gary's wish that himself take the country forward.

If that is what the FAW want and it means myself going in as a front man and the manager, absolutely, of course I would work with Raymond and the current regime if that's what it meant for me to manage my country. - http://www1.skysports.com/
