Maybe there's another reason.I find Mou alleged rejection of not hiring Giggs as no 2 as fascinating. Its strange because Mou does love to promote someone within the club as assistant. He did that with Beppe Baresi and with Karanka, so why hasn't he offered the same to Giggs?
Some may say that he simply doesn't need him. Unlike the Serie A and La Liga Mou knows the EPL inside out. In few words he doesn't need someone to help him learn the ropes. However its also true that the manager knows that politics play an important part in football management and snubbing a club legend whose got powerful mates in the media and the board will have consequences. Surely the easier way out would be to just hire him as no 2 and monitor him closely. If he's out of depth then surely Mou got the experienced staff needed to nanny him.
Which makes me wonder. Assuming that all rumours are true, then why is Mou going through all this hassle not to bring Giggs inside the inner circle? Well that's very difficult to come out with. However what is sure is that both Moyes and LVG got exposed to the media in the end with Giggs turning as the hero of the story in both occasion. Maybe someone had whispered in Mou's ears that he's better off not to have Giggs within the inner circle?
