Although he’s prepared to step into management should the right opportunity come along.

The Manchester United legend spent three seasons as assistant boss at Old Trafford until he finally left the club last season when Jose Mourinho was appointed.

He was thought to be pursuing a career in management when he left and was linked to the Swansea job both in October when Francesco Guidolin was sacked, and then again in December when Bob Bradley was axed.

But he was overlooked both times and has yet to have a full-time management role.

Now he admits he’s prepared to have another year away from coaching like this season where’s he’s been working in other areas of the game.

"I am really open about it," said Giggs. "If I was to have another year like the year I've just had, then so be it. I've enjoyed it.

"But also if jobs or opportunities arise that I think are interesting and I'll enjoy and are challenging, then definitely.

"When you've been in the game so long, you've left school and go straight into football, you're in that sort of bubble.

"Then when you come out of it, you see a different side of it. I mean for me, for example, I am just so much more relaxed.

"I look at football in a slightly different way, I can be a little bit more sort of objective and not so biased towards United necessarily.

"I am a little bit more relaxed and obviously getting to spend time with the kids as well is great.

"I wanted to take a year out from the coaching but also I wanted to obviously keep busy and still do stuff and that is what I'm managing to do. It is just getting that balance, really."
