Manning retired as a player following the 2019 season, ending a franchise-record 16-year career spent entirely with the Giants. His ties with the team and with the fanbase run incredibly deep, and it's those relationships that his new responsibilities will tap into, as he'll help with initiatives stretching across business development, marketing and community and corporate relations. Manning will also collaborate with the Giants on original content development and fan engagement activations, including a new lifestyle series premiering this fall. "For 16 seasons, Eli represented and defined what it meant to be a Giant and we are excited for him to join the business side of our front office," said John Mara, the Giants' president and chief executive officer. "Eli is one of the most beloved players in Giants history. We had a mutual interest in him returning to the organization and we're thrilled to welcome him back." "We are proud Eli was our quarterback for so many years and now look forward to his next chapter as a Giant," said Steve Tisch, Giants chairman and executive vice president. "Eli is the ultimate team player and will be a huge addition to the organization as we continue to elevate and strengthen our business operation." Manning is thrilled to return to the Giants in a new and challenging role. He was happy to return to the Quest Diagnostics Training Center when some COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. "After not being able to come back in the facility for a full year, to finally see my former teammates and the individuals I've spent the past 16 years with – like the trainers and equipment guys, video, scouting, management, owners – it's incredibly exciting to be back," Manning said. "Staying involved with this organization is very important to me. I love the organization, love the Giants and the fans, and so I want to do anything possible to help them out and be a part of it." Manning's new role will include several assignments. "I'm willing to do anything," he said. "But I'm focused on the business side with corporate partners and on community relations, which was always so important to me while I was playing here and is something, I've placed a high priority on throughout my life. I'm looking forward to seeing where I can make the most impact in helping the Giants achieve their business and community goals."Eli Manning sends message to Giants fans Check out the video below to watch Giants great Eli Manning send a message to Giants fans as the former quarterback announces his return to the organization.
