Warren Joyce is poised to take over as manager of Melbourne City this week. The 52-year-old former Manchester United coach took a flight on Saturday ahead of finalising terms with the Australian A League side, a partner club of Manchester City.
Joyce retains a reputation as a strong coach despite a disappointing spell at Wigan Athletic where he was given just four months in the job before being sacked by chairman David Sharpe in March, two weeks after Joyce had major eye surgery.
Joyce was instrumental in helping many of United's top youngsters make their breakthrough, including Paul Pogba, and Melbourne are hoping his experience can help accelerate the development of their young players.
