Former Manchester United U23 coach Warren Joyce has been confirmed new manager of A-League club Melbourne City.

Joyce, 52, had four months in charge of Wigan Athletic in the Championship last season after eight years overseeing the United second string.

Joyce said: "I am delighted to be joining Melbourne City Football Club at this time in its evolution.

"The people at the club, their vision and their values, together with the opportunity to help develop and build this team to its full potential, meant that this was an offer which was impossible to turn down."
