Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan has appointed Derek Fazackerley to his Maine Road coaching staff.

Fazackerley, who worked with Keegan at Newcastle and England, takes over from Willie Donachie, who left to work under Terry Yorath at Sheffield Wednesday.

Keegan said: "I am delighted that Derek is able to join Manchester City.

"We have always worked well together, especially during our time at Newcastle.

"He is a great organiser, and during his playing career he was a top-class defender whose experience will complement the attacking skills we also have at the club."

Fazackerley added: "I am delighted to be working with Kevin, especially at such an exciting time for Manchester City."

Fazackerley took part in his first City training session at the club's Carrington training ground on Tuesday.
