City in the Community (CITC) is celebrating its degree students throughout June.

CITC delivers a sport coaching degree in partnership with the Manchester Met University.

The programme brings together CITC’s community football coaching knowledge with Manchester Metropolitan’s academic expertise, to offer the best of both worlds and an integrated path to rewarding career goals.

To celebrate, one student who is graduating this summer received a very special surprise from Manchester City midfielder, Rodrigo, at the Etihad stadium.

Joe Banks, a CITC degree student believed he was being put through a practice interview with a member of staff from the City Football Group, however, unbeknownst to him his interviewer was none other that Rodrigo himself, who has completed a degree in business.

Watch what happened above when Rodri surprised Joe after his ‘interview’.
