Ryan Giggs decided to leave because he did not believe in David Moyes' ability. |
GIGGS IS GOING OUT
Last month, Ryan Giggs stood up and declared that there was no disagreement between him and coach David Moyes as rumored. However, there is no smoke without fire, and suspicions about the conflicts were raised yesterday, when a series of major British newspapers simultaneously reported: Ryan Giggs will retire at the end of this season, and also give up his position in the coaching staff.
Currently, in addition to being a member of the MU squad, Giggs is also a member of the coaching staff, managing the U19 team of Man United with his former teammate Nicky Butt. However, some sources claim that Giggs feels that the current context at Old Trafford is not suitable for him to develop his coaching career; or in other words, Giggs does not trust the ability of head coach David Moyes.
Although Giggs has been playing very well this season, the Welsh midfielder's retirement at the end of the season is not a surprise. He is 41 years old, and manager David Moyes himself has shown no desire to keep the veteran in the squad.
However, if Giggs leaves, this will be a very shocking news for Man United fans. Ryan Giggs is the biggest monument of the Premier League era, and the fact that he will "live forever" at Old Trafford, continuing to be a coach here after hanging up his boots, is something that few people doubt.
WHERE IS THE CONFLICT?
There was a special event that few newspapers reported on that took place at the MU press conference on March 31. When an American reporter asked Ryan Giggs if he intended to take over the position of head coach of Man United in case David Moyes left, this question was brushed aside by the MU media staff and changed to another question, before Giggs could answer. There is a "sensitive" issue that has not been fully disclosed in the relationship between Ryan Giggs and Man United at this time.
If the British press is to be believed, Giggs is not confident in his ability to develop his coaching career under David Moyes. However, perhaps the reason is simpler: he wants to try his hand in another field? Recently, together with his teammates of the '92 generation - Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers - Giggs bought a semi-professional club called Salford City right in the Manchester area.
Historically, it is extremely rare for a player to play his entire career for one club and then continue to contribute to the team as a coach. Among the top clubs in Europe, only one case can be mentioned: legendary goalkeeper Sepp Maier of Bayern Munich. Manchester United fans are looking forward to Giggs becoming such a person, and this separation will surely leave many disappointed.
