Thomas Krucken is looking forward to introducing some new ideas as he takes over from Jason Wilcox as academy director at Manchester City.
When the German finally takes his seat this week following his sacking in Stuttgart, he won’t be the only one looking to impress. Krucken takes over the top job at the academy, but three of the most senior roles under him have changed since the summer, with UK head of recruitment Stewart Thompson, head of coaching Stephen Torpey and head of operations Charlotte O’Neill they have all moved on to something else. ; Joe Shields left his role as head of recruitment last year, while Sam Fagbemi has been in the role for 12 months.
They have all gone on to bigger and better things (or are still going on), a testament to the excellent work they have done to make City the best academy in the country. In addition to players who have progressed to the first team under Pep Guardiola, the Under-21s and Under-18s have won their competitions for the last three consecutive years and there has been a record sale of homegrown talent in subsequent summer transfer windows .

The fact that they were all able to leave at more or less the same time is also in line with the club’s policy of not holding back people who come in with offers elsewhere that they would like to accept, just as Riyad Mahrez was not prevented from leaving. this summer despite being under contract and Oscar Bobb being the only first-team prospect who could have strengthened the first-team squad. City would probably point out that if they were so concerned about so many key departures, they would not allow O’Neill to move within the company to become the new director of the women’s team.
However, the transition cannot be expected to be smooth, regardless of how much experience remains within the academy hierarchy. Guardiola is still dealing with the summer turnover in the squad and the Under 23 coach Brian Barry-Murphy has a completely new group to manage after all the departures in the last period, to the point that it was decided that there would be no more young players . set to help with a first-team injury crisis in the Carabao Cup, with Micah Hamilton the only youngster on the bench. The academy is always more vulnerable to yearly changes than most teams as the playing squads are never the same, but the loss of so many staff members who have been integral to the success of recent years will be a test important for City’s ambition to grow their position as one of the best in the world. Agency. As Krucken and the others settle into their new roles at the top, they will learn the scale of their challenge.
