REVEALED!! Why Jose Mourinho doesn’t want Ryan Giggs as his assistant at Man Utd

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has decided not to offer the

assistant managerial position to club legend Ryan Giggs.

It was gathered that the Portuguese manager is worried about having a

direct rival working alongside him that may not provide the loyal

support he expects.

Previous reports claim the former Chelsea boss wanted Giggs to be part

of his coaching staff but a new report by The Times claim otherwise.



Mourinho has decided against naming Giggs as his assistant because of

his ambitions to be manager himself one day given he had thought the

job would be his when Louis van Gaal was originally scheduled to leave

in 2017.

The report claims "Mourinho demands unswerving loyalty and complete

support in everything he does from his backroom team", and would

therefore feel "uncomfortable" should Giggs continue to work beneath

him.

Mourinho believes the Welshman could have done more in his role as an

assistant coach to Van Gaal, and David Moyes before him.

Mourinho is worried about Giggs touchline antics which saw his always

sitting on the touchlines like Van Gaal and a shrink when things were

at their worst has not been lost on some people.

It is even suggested that Mourinho finds Giggs' close friendship with

Paul Scholes to be disturbing.

Mourinho wants Giggs to take a role in the club's youth setup just

like Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique did at Barcelona but Giggs would

see such a move as a step back.

It is said that despite being passed over for assistant manager – a

role to be filled by long-standing Mourinho ally Rui Faria – he would

have still preferred to stay at the club. But, with Mourinho keeping

him away from the first-team staff, his options are juniors or

nothing.
