"A charge of assault by beating relating to a second woman has also been authorised. Mr Giggs will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 28th April."

On of the charges stems from a November 2020 incident in which police were called to Giggs's home.

He has been in charge of the Wales team since January of 2018. He has been away from the team since the November incident.
