Giggs faces career D-day
Manchester United, 12:43, September 7, 2010 , | 1 Comment
Ryan Giggs is torn over the chance to manage his country and continue breaking appearance records for Man Utd.
The Welsh winger admits he is interested in the Wales coaching post, which could become available if John Toshack leaves after six unsuccessful years at the helm.
But Giggs' former youth coach Eric Harrison, who assisted Mark Hughes back in 2004, has warned him if he ends up being installed as new Wales manager he would have to end his 20-year career at Old Trafford.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "It is not a cushy little number and it is not a part-time post.
"You are at the sharp end of things and these days I don't believe you could combine playing for a club at United's level and managing an international team.
"When I was with Mark (Hughes) we'd be jetting off all over the place watching future opponents. Then you would be going up and down the country checking on your players.
"You couldn't be playing for United at the weekend and be wondering and worrying about how the Welsh players are doing.
"If the vacancy does come up and Ryan is approached then he has a massive decision to make."
Giggs, who has already taken UEFA coaching badges, said in the Daily Telegraph: "At the moment it is difficult, because I still have commitments as a player.
"But I always use the Sparky (Mark Hughes) situation.
"One minute he is playing for Wales and in the Premier League with Blackburn, then the next thing you know, he is managing his country.
"Sparky never really planned for that."
