Man City seeks sites for new coaching schools
Manchester City have revealed plans to create a series of international coaching centres across the world following the success of their football school in Abu Dhabi. Ԭ
The Premier League champions’ coaching centre in Abu Dhabi, named the MCFC School of Football, has doubled in size since it opened a year ago and now caters for 550 boys and girls aged between five and 18 and is run by five coaches on weekday evenings and Saturdays. ‘¨
The success of the centre, based at Zayed Sports City, will become the blueprint for further international projects as City’s Abu Dhabi-based owners look to expand their club’s global brand.
Sheikh Mansour’s Abu Dhabi United Group bought City in 2008.
"The success of the MCFC School of Football in Abu Dhabi is fast becoming the benchmark for our coaching excellence internationally, with the club currently exploring other destinations around the world for future expansions," a City statement read.
