English Premier League Champions Manchester City will be bringing their Elite Development Squad, which is led by former French legend Patrick Vieira, to Croatia once again for a pre-season training camp…
It is the second year in a row that Manchester City’s EDS will be based in Novigrad, Istria.
“We are returning to the same place because the facilities we had last year were terrific, the way we were looked after was fantastic and the hotel we stayed in was really good,” Vieira told MCFC.
Manchester City EDS, who arrive on Sunday, will play fixtures against HNK Gorica on 19 July, and against HNK Rijeka on 22 July.
“The trip last year was fantastic, one of the best I’ve experienced as a player or coach,” coach James Wilcox said. (pic: MCFC.co.uk)
