Former Manchester City, Oldham Athletic manager Jimmy Frizzell dies, aged 79

Tributes are paid by Oldham Athletic and Manchester City as it is announced that Jimmy Frizzell, who previously managed both clubs, has died aged 79.

Former Oldham Athletic and Manchester City manager Jimmy Frizzell has died, aged 79.

Frizzell served the Latics as both a player and manager in a spell with the club which lasted more than 22 years.

He then moved to Maine Road as assistant manager to Billy McNeill, taking over in September 1986 after McNeill's exit, in the season when Man City were relegated.

On the day Pep Guardiola was unveiled as City's new boss, the club said: "Amid the joyous events of today, all at MCFC are saddened to hear of the passing of former manager Jimmy Frizzell.

"Everybody at Manchester City send their sincere condolences to Jimmy's family."

Oldham Chief Executive Neil Joy said: "Jimmy was a true Oldham Athletic legend as a player and manager, and he was a real gentleman.

"All Latics fans will feel a real sense of loss at this news. Our thoughts are with Jimmy's friends and family at this sad time."

Frizzell also served as chief scout for Man City between 1994 and 1998.
