Sneaked in under the radar.
Another ex Barca. Perhaps he can teach us how to globally chuck ourselves on the fucking floor everytime someone takes the ball away from us.

City appoint former Barcelona and Liverpool coach Borrell as Global Technical Director

Manchester City have appointed former Barcelona and Liverpool coach Rodolfo Borrell as the club’s new Global Technical Director.

Borrell, 43, left his role as head of academy coaching at Anfield in November as part of a shake-up which also saw academy director Frank McParland depart.

He was appointed at Liverpool by Rafa Benitez in 2009 after being credited with helping to develop young talents such as Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas while at Barcelona.

During his four-year spell at Anfield Borrell oversaw the development of Raheem Sterling Jon Flanagan and Suso, who have all made significant first team contributions.

He will link up with former Barca colleagues Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain at the Etihad Stadium and will help develop City’s coaching ideals throughout their various franchises across the world.
