Ex-internationals including Kaká, Kolo Touré and Lise Klaveness have completed the UEFA Executive Master for International Players, which helps former players prepare for a second career off the pitch.
Newcastle s new owners have only been in charge of the club for a matter of days but there is no doubt they will want to make a statement in when the January transfer window opens.
Less than a week ago, Gary Lineker called for a FIFA rule change whilst watching England dismantle San Marino.
“Surely we’ve reached the stage where the lowest ranked nations should play amongst themselves to qualify for the right to play at this level. It’s become absurd,” he wrote.
He added: “It’s not condescending and sneering. It works brilliantly in the FA Cup. It would actually be more meaningful to make it through to this stage. Just getting battered constantly must be soul destroying.”

It seems that remains the case, as Tuttomercatoweb claims that City are willing to listen to offers for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Lampard will be replaced by Thomas Tuchel, who is set to be unveiled ahead of Wednesday’s Premier League clash against Wolves.
One of the reasons Chelsea’s board decided to make the change was Lampard’s failure to get the best out of the club’s big-money summer signings.
