While Ryan Giggs has not directly spoken to the press, his representative has officially announced that the Welsh manager is firmly denying the allegations.

Mr Giggs denies all allegations of assault made against him. He is cooperating with the police and will continue to assist them with their ongoing investigations.

The Welsh Federation said in a statement that they are following the case closely. So far, no further comments have been made but an investigation is currently underway after being opened by the Welsh authorities.

At the head of the Welsh team

After starting out on the bench for the club that made him a legend, Ryan Giggs has been the manager for the Welsh national team since 2018. Wales has, in recent years and especially in the Euro 2016, made good progress and is gradually raising their standards, hoping to soon be able to compete with the best European nations.

If Ryan Giggs is found guilty of domestic violence, he will most likely have to step down as manager.
