Former Ireland international Mark Kennedy has joined Manchester City as a coach.
He makes the switch from Ipswich Town under-21 manager to a role with City's Academy.
Kennedy (40) won 34 caps for Ireland between 1995 and 2002, scoring four goals.
The Dubliner played for Liverpool, Manchester City (1999-2001) and Wolves at club level among others, before finishing his playing career at Ipswich between 2010 and 2012.
