City’s Academy has been a production line of talent for Australia’s national teams for years now, and that trend doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Midfield young gun Connor Metcalfe in June made his Socceroos debut, doing so in the same game as Denis Genreau after the pair spent years coming through the ranks of City’s Academy together. The duo joined Daniel Arzani as City Academy products to have represented Australia at senior level - and looking at the recent Olyroos Olympics squad - you’d imagine there will be plenty more in years to come.
Melbourne City FC is happy to announce the re-signing of Head Coach Patrick Kisnorbo until the end of the 2024/25 Isuzu UTE A-League season. Kisnorbo’s first season in charge of City’s Men’s squad couldn’t have been any more successful, leading the team to both the Premiership and Championship. He remained at the Club following his playing retirement in 2016 and previously coached both City’s Youth and Women’s team before taking up the role as Men’s Head Coach last season.
It's been a busy couple of weeks of W-League news coming out of the Club, with five signings being announced as the season draws closer. A big signing was announced last Wednesday with former Young Matilda Rhianna Pollicina confirmed to be pulling in the City blue in season 2021/22. The dynamic midfielder has made 13 W-League appearances and most recently played at the Newcastle Jets where she took out their Player of the Year last season.
