Former Manchester United star Ryan Giggs has stepped down from his role as Wales manager with immediate effect. Giggs has been away from his role with Wales since November 2020 and since then, interim manager Robert Page has guided Wales to their first World Cup in 64 years.
Giggs, 48, is currently facing a legal battle after being accused of controlling and coercive behaviour against his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville between August 2017 and November 2020. He is also accused of assaulting Kate causing her actual bodily harm and of common assault on her younger sister Emma at his home in Manchester in November 2020.
The now former Wales manager has denied all of the allegations and has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. In a statement, Giggs said: "After much consideration, I am standing down from my position as manager of the Wales men’s national team with immediate effect."
