Gareth Bale has called on the Football Association of Wales to appoint Gary Speed's assistant Raymond Verheijen as their new coach.
The Tottenham winger was discussing the prospect of the FAW moving to appoint a new man following the sad death of Speed in November.
Bale feels it would be "absolutely ridiculous" to bring in a new management set-up given that Verheijen and fellow assistant Osian Roberts can carry on Speed's plan to help get Wales to the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
"It's a massive blow for everybody [Speed's death]," said Bale.
"Nobody expected it at all, but I think we would definitely want to keep the same set-up.
"Raymond's done a fantastic job with Gary Speed and, yeah, we want to keep it that way.
"Hopefully all the board members, all the FAW members will see sense and we've got a major tournament around the corner and we're playing some great football and we're getting actual results.
"So hopefully they've realised that that's happening... and I know personally most of the players want to keep it the same.
"Hopefully they...make sure that we can carry on Gary Speed's legacy and what he wanted us to do."
Wales had won four of their last five games under Speed and Bale thinks it would take them up to two years to get to where they are now under new management.
He added: "It'll be absolutely ridiculous to change anything now because it'll take us a good year or two to get us back up to where we are now and hopefully the FAW can come to their senses and stick with what we've got."
