Manchester City will build a training facility for their Women’s Super League side at the City Football Academy training center, the English club said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The facility will have a total value of up to 10 million pounds ($12.92 million) and is expected to open next season.<\/p>\n
“Once complete the facility will feature a hydrotherapy area, a high-performance gym and a circular dressing room designed to enhance player development,” City said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“It has also been tailored to meet the specific needs of the team, with a range of first team multi-disciplinary experts, including members of the first team squad, heavily consulted during the planning stage.”<\/p>\n
City’s women’s team previously shared facilities with the men’s and academy sides, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n
“We’ve obviously gone from an amazing facility which has gotten us to this point, but it’s time for us to move on from that now and expand as a team by giving us our own space to work from,” City captain Alex Greenwood said.<\/p>\n
“Right from the start we’ve been involved quite a lot so we could discuss what’s going to be in there and what’s necessary.”<\/p>\n
City won the WSL in 2016 and have finished runners-up in the competition seven times. They have also won four Women’s FA Cup titles as well as four Women’s League Cups.<\/p>\n
They sacked head coach Gareth Taylor on Monday with the team fourth in the WSL standings.<\/p>\n
Former City women’s coach Nick Cushing will replace Taylor on an interim basis. City next play on Saturday when they face Chelsea in the League Cup final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
