The Dane will take charge of coach and player development across the women’s first team set-up, while leading on player recruitment across the entirety of the women and girls’ pathway at the Academy Stadium.
Head Coach Gareth Taylor and Girls’ Academy Technical Director Jayne Ludlow will work directly under Nielsen, with him then reporting into Managing Director Gavin Makel who will continue to head up overall business operations for Manchester City Women.
He comes to the City Football Academy with a wealth of experience, honed at both youth and senior level in the men’s and women’s game.
In an insightful and far-reaching interview, Nils discusses those years of experience and how they have shaped his overall outlook on football today.
The conversation, of course, turns towards his new role, where he outlines how he can continue the work already in place with regards to recruitment and the youth pathway.
