The Wales boss and former Manchester United star was detained last November for allegedly assaulting his partner, PR executive Kate Greville, 36.
Police had been called to his family’s £1.7million home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, just after 10pm following reports of a “disturbance”.
Giggs, 47, was quizzed on suspicion of actual bodily harm and assault and released on bail.
The star has been on gardening leave from his role as Wales manager since November.
Greater Manchester Police have now charged him with “actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s”.
Bailed
Yesterday Giggs said he will plead not guilty in court to charges of assault and coercive or controlling behaviour, adding: “I look forward to clearing my name.
“I have full respect for the due process of law and understand the seriousness of the allegations.
