Manchester City assistant manager David Platt has quit the club. In the wake of his friend and boss Roberto Mancini quitting the club, the former England international has decided to move on too.

"With regret, Manchester City announce that David Platt has this afternoon left his role as assistant manager at the club," said a Man City club statement.


"David was offered the opportunity to continue his work with us, but has declined the invitation. He has decided to leave his role with his close friend Roberto Mancini.


"David has made a significant contribution to the club's success since joining in 2010, and we wish him well with his career, wherever that now takes him."
