'Finally, I would like to wish the players, the staff and the supporters at the FAW every success at the World Cup and in the future. But the start to his managerial career was not so plain sailing. Giggs described leading Wales to Euro 2020 as a career highlight. So the fact they climbed that mountain - trailing group leaders Hungary by six points - was remarkable. He is accused of causing his ex actual bodily harm at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, in November 2020 and using coercive behaviour towards her. He has also been accused of assaulting his ex's sister. Finally, I would like to wish the players, the staff and the supporters at the FAW every success at the World Cup and in the future. And with what he managed to achieve in his near three-year stint as manager of his country - after some harsh lessons learnt at United - it is no surprise he wants more of the action if he manages to clear his name. It is my intention to resume my managerial career at a later date and I look forward to watching our national team alongside you in the stands. It has been an honour and a privilege to manage my country, but it is only right that the Wales FA, the coaching staff and the players prepare for the tournament with certainty, clarification and without speculation around the position of their head coach. Thank you and best wishes. 'It is my intention to resume my managerial career at a later date and I look forward to watching our national team alongside you in the stands.
