He could be useful still with the Man City Academy and a european talent scout.
I'm pleased he'll have the opportunity for a clean sweep and to bring in his own trusted team. A full reset is exactly what’s needed right nowQuote:

if thy can also sort out the physio/medical department out as well that would be a big help - lost count of how many hamstring injuries we had last season.
In a recent interviw with Dave Jones, he said at the time he was here, we ad a really advanced medical department, were working closely with the university hospital and had almost no muscle injuries as they had a real focus on warming up and warming down properly - i wonder how that expertise has been lost along the way
His role as Talent ID Scout - - European Emerging Talent for City Football Group should mean that he has contacts all over Europe.
Who's gonna put the cones out ?
