Only thing that bothers me is that according to all the reports and some autobiographies I've read, Vieira was shockingly lazy in training as a player. Doesn't necesserily mean anything as far as management goes though.
Patrick stays and the spaniards speaks 2 good things.
Yes that was a shock. Maybe Soriano had a gag on while Mancini was here?
Reding it back and still raging from the feelings I had last Friday sat at my desk awaiting the trip to Wemberlee.
The statement is all we need to know why the sacking was done..
Ferran Soriano said: “Patrick is a world champion and it is a great honour that he has chosen Manchester City to begin his football management career. I have seen him carefully considering options and choosing to coach for the best reasons; he has a love of the game and a willingness to continue to learn and transmit his knowledge and experience to young footballers.”
“
Patrick’s role is of the highest long term importance for the Club. The ability of the Academy, the Elite Development Squad and the First team to work together using the same football concepts is key to our success and sustainability.”Manchester City would like to offer their best wishes to Attilio Lombardo, who stepped down from this role, and to thank him for his work with the EDS over the last year.
