• Cushing wants cool heads and victory over Arsenal• ‘He is a genius’: City players praise departing manager“It is a bit like being in the congregation at your own funeral,” Nick Cushing said as he reflected on his long
Manchester City goodbye. The manager leaves for the MLS side
New York City after Sunday’s Women’s Super League game at home to title rivals
Arsenal and the praise has come thick and fast.
“I don’t want to big him up too much because he might listen to this,” Jill Scott said with a grin, “but I do actually think he is a genius when it comes to football. I really do. The way you can see his mind working, the way he sees things and changes things on the spot; it’s not easy to do and he’s definitely someone I look up to as a coach.”
