The 48-year-old is accused of controlling and coercive behaviour against his former girlfriend Kate Greville between August 2017 and November 2020. Giggs is also accused of assaulting Greville, causing her actual bodily harm, and common assault of her younger sister, Emma Greville, at his home in the Manchester area in November 2020.
He has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to all charges. His trial has was delayed until August in January to a courts backlog. Since then, his former assistant Rob Page, has led Wales to their first World Cup since 1958.
Giggs' decision to step aside means Page will take charge of games against the USA, Iran and England in Qatar in November.
