Ryan Giggs spent four years as Wales manager

Former Wales boss Ryan Giggs is working as director of football at Salford City, the club he co-owns as part of the 'Class of 92' group with former Manchester United team-mates.

Giggs, 50, owns 10% of League Two Salford along with Phil and Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes.

It is his first job since stepping down as Wales manager in June 2022.

That came before he was cleared of allegations he assaulted his ex-girlfriend and her sister.

The charges were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service at a hearing at Manchester Crown Court in July 2023.

Butt is currently chief executive of the club, having taken on the role in October.

Although the move has not been formally confirmed, the club did attribute Giggs' role in a press release confirming Alex Bruce's arrival as assistant coach last month., external

Salford are 20th in League Two, eight points off the relegation places, and appointed former MK Dons and Charlton boss Karl Robinson as head coach in January.

Giggs and the 'Class of 92' will celebrate 10 years since their takeover of the club on 27 March.
