Ryan Giggs will turn 36-years-old in a couple of months so it makes sense for him to be thinking about his future. His United playing career will likely draw to a close within the next couple of seasons and Giggs is planning to stay in football, although as yet is undecided as to what career path he wants to follow.
“Football is my life, but I’m not going to be playing at 40 – and I will look for another challenge within in the game,” said Giggs. “When my body tells me I can’t sustain playing at the highest level any more I know it will be time for me to call it a day. I want to finish playing at the top. I have no intention of playing in the lower leagues to sustain my playing career. I have done my coaching courses and would like to stay in the game in some capacity. I think there are numerous opportunities that will allow me to stay in the game, be it in coaching, the media or training in some capacity. I am told that you can inadvertently fall into management – like Mark Hughes and then you get bitten by the bug.”

I KNEW IT!!!!
I KNEW IT!!!!!!
I SAID THIS IN A ROM THREAD ONE DAY
OMG I KNEW GIGGS WOULD BE A MANAGER
SURLEY UNITED’S!!!!!
calm down buddy,thats not going to happen (in the next 10 yrs).he needs to cut his teeth in the lower divs like keano (shud have started there)hope he sucseeds tho when he starts
theres going to be some dissapointed fans when fergie retires
we cant have giggs, scholes, keane and cantona as manager
OR can we….
People use the word ‘legend’ far too easily these days, but this lad truly IS a Legend.
Red dave…As if we don’t know Ole will be a manager
he already won a trophy with the reserves.
In Giggs we trust.
Would love Ole to be manager, but then again would lovee Giggs, Neville, Scholes, Cantona, Keane, D Fergie, all to be manager.
Only a matter of time before there will be a point when every single manager in the prem at will have played for United at one stage. (excluding the scouse reds)!!
@Red Rave exactly the same here.. It would a little bit of dream come true if any of them become our next manager, be it Keane, Hughes, Giggs, Ole, Scholes or my favourite among them, Cantona.
A lot of our fans want one among our legends to succeed SAF.
Our fans also want that successor to have experience at smaller club/lower league first, and climb up the ladder until he reach OT.
But when that legend is working at another club, then our fans will like him less, particularly when he is working at our rival/arch enemy like Citeh because all that he did/said as the manager there.
Now i think that is a dream too big.
Hope we can keep Giggsy at the club somehow. Manager of left wingers or something.
Agree with @Supermanc
Hei colleges! Provide a course called ‘soccer made easy’ and make this man its lecturer. Better still, the chancellor or president of a soccer college. Sir Ryan Giggs, you are the best.
Agree with all the players mentioned who I’d love to manage at United, truly the dream team. I’d just add ‘Larry White’ who’s been doing a good job at Bordeaux. How I wish we’d got him in his prime. He taught players like Rio so much. Good friend of Eric’s too.
