Giggs is among the favourites to succeed John Toshack, who stood down following a poor start to qualifying for Euro 2012. Hughes began his managerial career with Wales in 1999 and almost steered them into Euro 2004 before his success attracted the attention of Blackburn. Giggs has previously stated he would like to coach his country at some stage and Hughes believes there are few better ways for the 36-year-old to move into management. "I was still playing in the Premier League when I got the Wales job," said the Fulham boss. "I initially thought I could play and manage but quickly found out that was impossible. "The way I coped with it was by separating both roles. At the club I was very much a player but had a different attitude when I was with the international squad. "Maybe if Ryan got the job he'd do it in a different way and it will be interesting to see if he's interested in it. "He has to decide if it's right for him but I'd recommend it to him. If he rang I'd say take it. "If he does go for it, he needs to surround himself with good staff who will protect and help him. "For me it was the best thing I ever did - it enabled me to become the manager I am now because it's a huge learning curve. "It exposes you initially and you can think 'what the hell happened there?', but then you have the window to sit back and review how to do things better. "As a learning experience for a young manager it's fantastic. "Everyone says international football is for older managers, but I think it's fantastic opportunity for a young manager." Hughes has advised the Football Association of Wales to appoint a Welshman to succeed Toshack. "Ideally it should be a Welshman. That's important. You have an insight that someone from outside the country doesn't have," he said. "It might not be something tangible. It's innate within you. You can impart that feeling to the players because you're one of them." Hughes understands the reasons behind Toshack's departure and admits it can be a challenging role. "It's a difficult job. It can be really rewarding because managing your country is a great honour and privilege," he said. "But at times it can also be really frustrating because sometimes you're trying to work with your hands behind your back in terms of the resources and availability of players. "I'm sure that was a frustration for John Toshack on many occasions, as it was for me. "But when you get positive results, and I think back to that game against Italy at the Millennium Stadium with 75,000 people there which was one of the best night playing or managing I've been involved in, there are great highs. "I'm sure John will be disappointed that it didn't work out but he had a long tenure, more than most. It wasn't as fruitful as he would have liked. "I wasn't surprised when he resigned. You have to have a good start to the campaign, which then sets the tone for the group. "If you have a setback the confidence and enthusiasm can be hard to get back, but when you get a win the whole nation comes with you."

Galarraga, Joyce keep focus on jobs at reunion - Major League Baseball

Posted: 10 Sep 2010 09:30 PM PDT

DETROIT -- Armando Galarraga and Jim Joyce have been together in plenty of roles off the field since their brush with history. They were awards presenters at the ESPYs in July. They're co-authors on a book to be released early next year.

When they were finally on the same field again as pitcher and umpire Friday night at Comerica Park, the first time for that since that amazing June evening, they kept it at that.

"I understand all that stuff," Galarraga said after the game. "It was crazy what happened [in June]. Everybody knows, everybody that doesn't even watch baseball knows, it's historic. But you know, it's not the first one [with him and Joyce], and it's not going to be the last one. He's going to be behind home plate many, many more times. I don't want to make a big deal. I'm sure he doesn't want to make a big deal. He's doing his job. I'm doing mine."

Take away the history, and Friday's game between the Tigers and Orioles was a rather humdrum game for them. There was neither a grand ovation nor a round of boos for Joyce from the crowd this time when he came out from the tunnel, no ceremony or special recognition when the umpiring crew took the lineup cards before the game. Joyce took his spot behind the plate, called his game and blended into the background of the game.

He went almost unnoticed as the home-plate umpire, with few if any disputes. That's how most umpires want their nights to be. That's exactly how Joyce wanted this night to turn out.

"Probably the second-hardest plate job of my career until the first three outs," Joyce said. "After the first three outs, I felt I could get back to being Jim Joyce, the umpire."

That he did. Despite all attention Joyce's blown call at first base in June attracted, what it meant for Galarraga's perfect-game bid, the Tigers really like Joyce as an umpire.

"He did a good job today, [like] always," Miguel Cabrera said. "He's one of the best umpires in the game."

Said Galarraga: "It's not like he's going to call me everything for strikes. I might make a good pitch, but he thought it was a ball. He showed his professionalism for baseball. That's why he's one of the best."

Luke Scott's leadoff single in the second inning thwarted any chance of perfection from Galarraga this time around. The Tigers' offense, not Joyce, cost Galarraga a chance at a victory when Detroit couldn't drive in Austin Jackson after his leadoff triple in the seventh inning. Galarraga settled for seven innings of three-run ball in a no-decision.

Joyce left with a well-called game in his return to Comerica Park for the first time since that June series.

"I thought he did a great job behind the plate," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland, who played a big role in bringing Galarraga and Joyce together after the controversy in June. "So that's gone. That's in the past. I don't really think anybody's talking about that much anymore."

Galarraga and Joyce didn't talk to each other about it Friday. They didn't really say much at all. What few words they exchanged served as the bookends for his outing. As Galarraga would warm up to start his innings, Joyce would tell him when he had one warmup toss left.

"One pitch, Armando," Joyce would say.

After Galarraga had thrown his final pitch, retiring O's shortstop Cesar Izturis to end the seventh inning, Galarraga congratulated him on his performance.

"The last inning, I just told him, 'Good job.' That's it," Galarraga said. "Because I know that's my last inning. Sometimes I tell that to umpires."

Joyce was glad to hear it. He was glad they kept things at that.

"There's enough pressure on both of us," Joyce said. "He did his job and I went out and tried to do mine."
