Men

2016-17 was a mixed season for City’s men’s team. They failed to land a major trophy but there was a clear improvement in the style of football the team played. Pep Guardiola, in his first 12 months as manager, introduced a high-intensity, quick passing game that saw City produce some of the best football in the Club’s history in finishing third in the Premier League.
