Former Manchester United coach Warren Joyce is joining Manchester City.

The Daily Mail says Joyce, who had a short stint in charge of Wigan Athletic, is set to take charge of City's Australian partners Melbourne City.

The 52-year-old former Manchester United coach took a flight on Saturday ahead of finalising terms with the Australian A League side, a partner club of Manchester City.

Joyce retains a reputation as a strong coach despite a disappointing spell at Wigan Athletic where he was given just four months in the job before being sacked by chairman David Sharpe in March, two weeks after Joyce had major eye surgery.
