Wales manager and former Manchester United player Ryan Giggs has been charged with assaulting two women.
He is accused of causing actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s at an address in Salford last November.
Giggs is also charged with coercive or controlling behaviour.
He has been bailed to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on 28 April.
Giggs said in a statement he would plead not guilty to the charges in court.
The former Manchester United winger is one of British football's most-decorated footballers following his 24-year career at Old Trafford.
He also won 64 caps for Wales between 1991 and 2007 and was appointed national manager in January 2018, leading them to qualification for Euro 2020, which has been re-scheduled because of Covid-19.
The Football Association of Wales has confirmed assistant manager Robert Page will take charge of Wales at this summer's European Championships.
