Answer

Manager. Speed was appointed as the manager of the Wales national football team in December 2010, succeeding John Toshack. He led the team to the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying play-offs, where they lost to Croatia. Despite this setback, Speed's tenure as manager saw a significant improvement in the team's performance and FIFA ranking, and he helped lay the foundation for their eventual success in qualifying for UEFA Euro 2016.
