Mark Hughes has backed Gary Speed to turn around Wales' fortunes and repair any damage done during the John Toshack era.
Speed this week succeeded Toshack, who replaced Hughes as manager in 2004.
"He's got a strong personality, he's good with people," said Hughes. "[The players] will relate better to Gary than they perhaps did to the previous manager."
