Former Manchester City defensive duo Richard Dunne and Kolo Touré have returned to the club, taking up roles in the academy coaching set-up.

While Touré, who took over as club captain from Dunne in the summer of 2009, will take up a similar role with the U16s.
Since retiring from playing in 2017, Touré has held coaching roles alongside Brendan Rodgers at both Celtic and Leicester City, and also had a short spell as Wigan Athletic manager in the 2022/23 season.
Elsewhere, Ben Wilkinson has stepped up as Elite Development Squad Lead Coach, with predecessor Brian Barry-Murphy leaving the club.
