Despite no prior formal announcement from the club, Giggs, 50, was referenced as their director of football in a recent statement issued by Salford City, while confirming the appointment of Alex Bruce as an assistant coach. The club has now confirmed that the Manchester United legend has been working in the capacity since the start of the campaign. Giggs' return to the football scene comes after a hiatus following his acquittal of charges related to an alleged assault on his former partner last year. The football icon vehemently denied all accusations, and his resumption of duties at Salford City signals a new chapter in his career. Giggs is a co-owner of Salford City alongside former Manchester United teammates Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, and David Beckham. While Butt serves as the League Two side’s chief executive, the others, except for Scholes, hold directorial positions as per the club's filings.
