Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has applied to become the next Wales manager, according to reports.
"These jobs don't come around every five minutes and I would love to manage an international team," Aldridge told the South Wales Echo newspaper.
"This is too good an opportunity to let pass me by, it's just so tempting. I posted my application last night."
Aldridge, who started his career at Newport, has been out of the game since resigning as Tranmere manager in 2001.
The former Republic of Ireland striker guided them to the 2000 Worthington Cup final, but decided to walk away a year later claiming the pressures of the job almost led to a mental and physical breakdown.
