# Gonzalez considering offer from Manchester City

According to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20160717/403277772950/fran-puede-ir-al-city-su-hijo-nico-sigue-en-el-barca.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter), Fran González is considering an offer to join Manchester City’s coaching staff.

The 47-year-old has been offered a role in Pep Guardiola’s new City backroom staff and is contemplating the move.

The Spaniard is referred to as a legend in Deportivo La Coruña folklore, having made over 600 club appearances for the Spanish outfit.

His job would be something to do with the academy set-up at City, with his role likely to be relaying information to Guardiola on which players he thinks could make the step up to the first-team.

Daily Mail writer Adam Crafton has also confirmed that Gonzalez has been living in Manchester for a while, which intimates that he would be very open to a move to Manchester City as he is settled in the area.
