Juanma Lillo has returned to Manchester City's coaching staff.
The 57-year-old Spaniard was previously on City boss Pep Guardiola's backroom team for two seasons from the summer of 2020.
He subsequently departed a year ago to become head coach at Qatari outfit Al Sadd.
Guardiola, who played under Lillo at Mexican club Dorados, said on City's official website: "Juanma sees things no one else in the game sees. He understands football on an incredible level, so he is the perfect person for me to work alongside.
"I have always been inspired by him - his knowledge of football, his intelligence and his humanity mark him out as a very special person in my life - and we have a shared ideology.
"He is a friend, a colleague and an inspiration. I am so, so happy he is back here at Manchester City.
"His preparation for matches is absolutely amazing. I know he will raise standards because he works so hard every single day."
