Ryan Giggs' case is set to go before a court in Manchester.
A court case involving Ryan Giggs is set to go before court in Manchester on Wednesday after the Wales manager was charged with allegedly assaulting two women - including his ex-girlfriend - and coercive control.
Former Manchester United footballer Giggs, 47, is facing a total of three charges after police were called to a disturbance at his Greater Manchester home in November 2020.
He has been charged with allegedly causing actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s after an incident on November 1, 2020.
He has also been charged with one count of alleged coercive and controlling behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020.
After being bailed, Greater Manchester Police said on Friday that Giggs was due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, April 28.
His case is due to be heard on Wednesday morning. You'll be able to follow live updates via WalesOnline from around 9am.
A statement from the Crown Prosecution Service issued on Friday said: "We have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Ryan Giggs with engaging in behaviour which was controlling or coercive and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
"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, April 28.
"The CPS made the decision to charge Mr Giggs after reviewing a file of evidence from Greater Manchester Police.
"Criminal proceedings are active and nothing should be published that could jeopardise the defendant’s right to a fair trial."
Giggs, who stood aside from his Wales coaching role in the wake of the allegations, later issued a statement saying he looked forward to clearing his name.
He said: "I have full respect for the due process of law and understand the seriousness of the allegations. I will plead not guilty in court and look forward to clearing my name.
"I would like to wish Robert Page, the coaching staff, the players, and the supporters every success at the Euros this summer."
The Football Association of Wales has confirmed Giggs will not be in charge of Wales at this summer's European Championship.

Ryan Giggs accused of headbutting ex and 'degrading' her, court told
Wales boss Ryan Giggs, 47, appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Wednesday charged with three alleged offences and entered not guilty pleas on all counts

Ex-footballer Ryan Giggs allegedly headbutted his former partner and "subjected her to degrading treatment".
The Wales manager, 47, appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Wednesday facing a total of three charges after police were called to a disturbance at his Greater Manchester home in November 2020.
The ex-Manchester United winger, who was named manager of Wales in January 2018 on a four-year contract, has been charged with allegedly causing actual bodily harm to former partner Katie Greville and assault by beating of Emma Greville after an incident on November 1, 2020.
He has also been charged with one count of alleged coercive and controlling behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020.
Giggs stood in the dock and spoke only to confirm his name, address, and date of birth at the brief hearing. During the proceedings prosecutor Andrea Griffiths read out a brief summary of the charges.
She said the assault charge against Katie Greville was an alleged domestic assault involving a “deliberate headbutt” aggravated by the fact he was “in drink”.
Summarising the alleged coercive behaviour Ms Griffiths added: “There was fear of violence on many occasions.
“He isolated her from friends and colleagues, undertook incessant communication with her, subjected her to degrading treatment.
“When he didn’t get the responses he required there was a consequence and threat of violence on several occasions.
“When she did try to challenge him the defendant would pursue her incessantly and would threaten physical or professional harm against her.”
The case has now been allocated to Manchester Crown Court with a further hearing due to take place next month ahead of a trial expected to last three weeks.
Giggs was granted conditional bail which prevents him from having contact with the alleged victims and from attending any address where they are present.

Nothing surprises me about Ryan Giggs anymore unfortunately.
I am surprised he hasn't resigned.
Not so surprised that he hasn't been sacked yet. I expect the FAW are waiting for him to be found guilty to cover their backs.
