Brian Kidd hails Gael Clichy as a "manager's dream" after the left-back signed a new four-year contract at Manchester City.

Manchester City caretaker manager Brian Kidd has hailed Gael Clichy as a "manager's dream" after the full-back signed a new contract at the club.

Kidd, who replaced Roberto Mancini last week when the Italian was sacked, praised Clichy's attitude among other things.

The Frenchman signed a four-year deal today, having joined City from Arsenal in 2011.

"Gael is a crucial member of this team, and we're all delighted that he's committed his future to Manchester City," Kidd told the club's official website.

"We are building a side that will challenge for honours for years to come and to do that, you need top quality players. Gael comfortably fits into that bracket.

"Gael is a top professional off the pitch as well as on it and his attitude and conduct is faultless. He is a manager's dream."

Clichy is likely to be part of the City side who take on Norwich City tomorrow afternoon.
