Manchester City have confirmed the departure of assistant manager Rodolfo Borrell.
Borrell leaves after nine years at the club in total and seven as part of Pep Guardiola's backroom staff to take on a new position as sporting director at Austin FC in MLS. City sporting director Txiki Begiristain praised the work of the coach, who spent time with the academy before joining the first team and also took charge of the side for an FA Cup game at Swindon when Guardiola was sidelined with Covid.
“I would like to wish Rodolfo the best of luck in his new role at Austin FC," Begiristain said. "He has played a significant role in the club’s achievements over the past nine years, both as global technical director and after joining Pep Guardiola’s backroom team.
