New role for Giggs

July 4, 2013 by Tony Bugby

David Moyes has appointed Ryan Giggs as player/coach at Manchester United with immediate effect.

Giggs, 39, Britain’s most decorated footballer, has been taking his coaching badges and is due to attain the UEFA Pro Licence next summer. He signed a one year extension to his playing contract in March and will combine his new duties with being a member of the first team squad.

Manager Moyes said: “I’m delighted that Ryan has accepted the chance to become player coach. His success and ability to adapt his game over a number of years gives him an unrivalled perspective on the modern game.

“His career is an example to any aspiring young player and I’m sure that both he and the players will benefit from his new role.

Giggs said: “It’s a great privilege to be appointed a player coach. I hope I will be able to bring my experience to bear, having been both a player and part of the Manchester United family for so long.

” It’s no secret that I have been taking my qualifications and I see this as the first step in my future career. I’m really looking forward to working alongside David and the team.”
