Man Utd legend Ryan Giggs: Too many foreign coaches in English football

Published on: 22 February 2017

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs says there's too many foreign coaches in English football.

He insists the number of foreign bosses is stifling homegrown managers' opportunities to progress.

Giggs, 43, was caretaker boss for four games at United after David Moyes' sacking in 2014.

"I don't think there's enough [British managers] at the moment," he said.

Giggs, who has said he is in no rush to get back into management, cites Paul Clement at Swansea City as an example of a British manager proving they can operate at the top level.

Giggs was interviewed for the Swansea job before American Bob Bradley's appointment in October, and the former United captain was considered again before Clement took charge in January.

"It's good to see a British coach getting a chance," Giggs told BBC Wales Sport.

"I think it is [important British coaches get a chance]. There's a lot of top quality foreign coaches in the Premier League, but there's also a lot of quality British coaches and managers out there."
