In a statement from the club website, Giggs said: “I am thrilled to have the chance to serve as assistant manager. Louis van Gaal is a world-class coach and I know I will learn a lot about coaching from being able to observe and contribute at such close quarters. Manchester United has been a huge part of my life and I’m delighted to be able to continue that relationship in such a key role.”
Van Gaal will further be assisted by fellow Dutchman Frans Hoek and Marcel Bout as goalkeeper coach and assistant coach respectively.
