Comolli: Giggs is a ‘short-term’ solution

In the afterglow of Ryan Giggs’ first game as Manchester United’s interim manager, many influential voices within football believe the Welsh man should be given the job on a full-time basis.

But, according to Damien Comolli, former director of football at Tottenham and Liverpool, it’s unfair to expect Giggs’ managerial involvement to be anything else but short-term.

“Think about business and the top five companies in the world. Do you think Mark Zuckerburg would appoint a new Facebook CEO who’s been in the company for 20 years but has never taken any responsibility at board level? No. He’ll give the job to a CEO from another company or to someone who was on his board already,” says Comolli.
