Former Manchester City assistant manager off to NYC

Manchester City assistant manager Domenec Torrent has left his position at the Etihad Stadium to become New York City FC’s new manager.

Torrent, who also worked with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, replaces Patrick Vieira in charge of City’s sister club in Major League Soccer following the Frenchman’s move to Nice.

Though I have enjoyed a wonderful 11 years working alongside my colleague and close friend Pep Guardiola — it has always been my ambition to manage a team again and I really couldn’t have hoped for a better opportunity than at this football club,” Torrent said.
