adminRYAN GIGGS is a shock contender for the vacant Nottingham Forest job. MirrorFootball understands the Manchester United legend has agreed to leave the club he has served 29 years as apprentice, player and coach to take on his first permanent managerial role.Giggs, 42, had been offered the opportunity to stay on at Old Trafford as part of new boss Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff – although not as No.2 with the Portuguese’s trusted lieutenant Rui Faria taking the position.
