Incoming Man City manager Pep Guardiola has begun to change his backroom staff ahead of his arrival to the club on July 1st, according to the Mail.
Three key members of the City backroom have been released, although it has not been officially announced by the club as of this time.
Those released include Paul Webster, a long-serving masseur who was very popular within the squad, club physio Craig Yiull and team manager Paul Banks, who was responsible for planning travel and training schedules.
Guardiola is expected to bring his established coaching team of Carles Planchart, Domenec Torrent and fitness coach Lorenze Buenaventura with him to Manchester City, however, more appointments can be expected.
Former Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta is expected to be one of those brought into Pep’s backroom set-up, after reportedly rejecting a new contract at Arsenal to join Pep in Manchester. This has also been proven through the fact Arteta is looking at properties in the area.
