In this paper we introduce the notion of coalgebra symmetry for discrete systems. With this concept we prove that all discrete radially symmetric systems in standard form are quasi-integrable and that all variational discrete quasi-radially symmetric systems in standard form are Poincar\'e--Lyapunov--Nekhoroshev maps of order $N-2$, where $N$ are the degrees of freedom of the system. We also discuss the integrability properties of several vector systems which are generalisations of well-known one degree of freedom discrete integrable systems, including two $N$ degrees of freedom autonomous discrete Painlev\'e I equations and an $N$ degrees of freedom McMillan map.
