Manchester City have appointed
former Barcelona technical director
Txiki Begiristain as director of football
in a restructuring which sees Brian
Marwood now in charge of the Football
Academy.
Marwood had previously been
responsible for signing players, but his
transfer dealings had been criticised by
manager Roberto Mancini over the
past two summers.
Begiristain will report to City's chief
executive Ferran Soriano - who worked
with him at Barcelona.
Begiristain is a former winger Real
Sociedad, Barcelona and Deportivo
winger who won 22 caps for Spain.
He ended his playing career in the J-
League at the Urawa Red Diamonds,
before spending seven years at the
Nou Camp as Director of Football.
