Senior call for Curtis

13 September 2010 12:31
Swansea first-team coach Alan Curtis will help prepare Wales` national team for their next two Euro 2012 qualifiers after Brian Flynn was promoted to take temporary charge of the senior squad. Curtis usually works alongside Flynn with the Under-21s when the international schedule breaks up the Championship fixtures, meaning it will not affect his role at the Liberty Stadium. Instead of working with the youth set-up, Curtis will now help prepare the likes of Craig Bellamy and Gareth Bale for their crucial double header against Bulgaria and Switzerland next month. Flynn, who managed City between 2002 and 2004, takes the reins from John Toshack following his resignation after the recent disappointing defeat in Montenegro. The 54-year-old is hoping to stake a claim for the position on a permanent basis.
