Manchester City post new job advertisement for first-team analysis role | OneFootball

Premier League champions Manchester City are advertising for a new role within Pep Guardiola’s first-team set-up and specifically the analysis department.

It appears to be the latest move taken by the Etihad Stadium club as they look to strengthen their armoury ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, and not just in the playing squad department as is more commonly reported in the media.

This summer has already seen a number of movements in the coaching world with links back to Manchester City, as former assistant coach Enzo Maresca became the new head coach of Chelsea, while legendary captain Vincent Kompany became Bayern Munich’s new manager.

Now, while Manchester City recruitment bosses continue their search for the next talents arriving into Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad, work away from the playing team continues through a search for a new performance analyst.

As revealed by Training Ground Guru, Manchester City are currently in the process of taking on a new hire for the role of ‘First Team Performance Analyst, Set Pieces’, closing the job advert next week.

The posting lists seven key impacts to be undertaken by the successful applicant:

In December 2022, Manchester City secured the services of highly-regarded Brentford analyst Jack Wilson for a role focusing on set pieces, with Wilson beginning work with Pep Guardiola’s side after the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

However, an update on Wilson’s Linkedin appears to indicate that the new job posting issued by Manchester City is directly linked to his own future, with his time at the Etihad Stadium terminating in June 2024.
