Manchester City's outgoing sporting director will do his work against the backdrop of Pep Guardiola and his players training, or a youth team match. As much as he loves to see top talent, he loves to discover it too and has built a reputation over the past two decades at Barcelona and then City as one of the best in the business.
Joan Patsy is not a name known to many City fans but he has been looking after this crucial element of City's business for more than a decade. Having previously worked with Johan Cruyff when Guardiola's idol was in charge of Barcelona, Patsy is one of the most important people at the club who wouldn't be easily recognisable at a game.
