Manchester City is set to bolster its backroom staff with the addition of Pep Lijnders and Kolo Touré, according to Fabrizio Romano. The pair will work alongside current manager Pep Guardiola, who is reportedly preparing for the upcoming season. Lijnders, who has previously worked under Guardiola, is expected to take on a coaching role, while Touré’s experience as a defender could see him involved in defensive strategy. Guardiola has been at the helm of Manchester City for several years, and his plans for the future are being put into action. The news comes as Guardiola continues to shape his squad, having previously expressed concerns over the size of the team.
