Manchester City is delighted to bring the coaching philosophy and sporting excellence of the Premier League Champions to the Swiss Alps.
Based in the mountain ski resort of Villars-sur-Ollon, Aiglon has a long-standing reputation as one of the most distinct schools in the world, focusing on balanced development of student’s mind, body and spirit.
Utilising their exceptional alpine location, students at Aiglon augment their studies with a range of sports and physical activities, from skiing to expeditions around their campus.
The new football programme will see students coached in City’s unique playing style which has achieved global success and iconic silverware in English domestic competitions.
The Manchester City Football School will begin in the school’s 2023 autumn term. The programme will commence with a curriculum offering for existing students and will include after-school and holiday clinics for the wider community. More information can be found at www.aiglon.ch/mancity

The School Director, Nicola Sparrow, said: “Aiglon is the only school in Europe to have established this partnership with Manchester City.
