Ghana midfielder Ebenzer Ofori is to work under Spanish coach Domenec Torrent at New York City FC following the departure of Patrick Vieira.

The 55-year-old Spaniard replaces Patrick Vieira, who has departed the MLS side after two and a half seasons to take over Ligue 1 side Nice.

Torrent has served as Man City manager Pep Guardiola's right-hand man for the past 11 years, following the Spanish manager from Barcelona to Bayern Munich and to his current position at City.
