Official: Ryan Giggs Leaves Manchester United by Engrobiorah(m): 6:19pm On Jul 02, 2016
The 20-time English champions and the Welsh club legend have
parted company after he was not offered the assistant manager's
role under new boss Jose Mourinho
Ryan Giggs' 29-year association with Manchester United has ended,
with the club confirming his departure from the coaching staff on
Saturday.
Giggs won 35 trophies during his 24 seasons as a first-team player
at Old Trafford, including 13 Premier League titles. He also racked up
a club-record 963 appearances before retiring in the summer of
2014 following a four-game spell as caretaker player-manager
following David Moyes' dismissal.
He then became assistant manager to Louis van Gaal, with the
original plan having been for Giggs to potentially take the
manager's job at the end of the Dutchman's three-year contract in
2017.
But Van Gaal's sacking in May following two underwhelming seasons
resulted in a change of plan from the Old Trafford hierarchy, and
Jose Mourinho's decision to hand Giggs a reduced role on his new-
look backroom staff led the 42-year-old to consider his options.
And on Saturday the club announced in a statement that Giggs had
decided to call time on his glorious spell with United almost three
decades on from his arrival on a Youth Training Scheme deal on his
14th birthday.
Upon his exit, Giggs said in a statement: "After 29 seasons at
Manchester United as a player and assistant manager, I know
winning is in the DNA of this club - giving youth a chance, and
playing attacking and exciting football. It’s healthy to have high
expectations, it’s right to expect to win. Manchester United expects,
deserves, nothing less.
"This is why it is a huge decision for me to step away from the club
that has been my life since the age of 14. It has not been a decision
that I have made lightly. I'll take away so many special memories as
well as a lifetime of experiences that will, I hope, serve me well in
the future.
Ryan Giggs is leaving #mufc to pursue his desire to be a
manager.

"However, the time feels right and, although I have no immediate
plans to step into management, it is where I want to be.
"I’ve been extremely fortunate in having two great managerial
mentors; first in Sir Alex, who I’ve spent the majority of my life
working with and learning from and who I believe will remain as
football’s greatest-ever manager and in more recent times, Louis
van Gaal, whose CV speaks for itself. The knowledge I have gleaned
from them has been invaluable.
"I want to reiterate my thanks to the backroom staff and support
teams at Manchester United I’ve worked with over the years. The
results on the pitch are a reflection of the hard work off it. I would
not have achieved the success I have without the dedication,
sacrifice and commitment of these people in creating the best
environment for the team to succeed.

"I want to congratulate José Mourinho on his appointment as
manager of the world’s biggest club. There are only a handful of
proven winners at the very highest level and José is unquestionably
one of them. I know the fans will welcome him.
"My final thank you is to the fans. I cannot begin to tell you how
much I will miss walking out at Old Trafford in front of you. It’s
extremely difficult to say goodbye after 29 years. I have loved every
minute both as a player and assistant manager. The support you
have always shown me has been phenomenal; thank you.
"It’s time for a new chapter and a new challenge. I’m excited about
the future - I’ve had the best apprenticeship into management
anyone could ever ask for."
Speculation had mounted in recent times regarding Giggs' future due
to Mourinho's arrival at United, while his decision to join ITV's team
of pundits for the final 11 days of Euro 2016 in France increased talk
he was ready to look for a management job away from Old
Trafford.
