Modric, Ronaldo & Beckham: Why footballers are snubbing management

Players are actively seeking out opportunities to learn about the business side of the game.

Ajax’s Jordan Henderson, Aston Villa’s Tryone Mings, and Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan are just some of those taking courses in football business management.

“The PFA [Professional Footballers Association] has its own business school. Helping assist players from dressing room to boardroom. Rather than the dugout,” Maguire added.

“Footballers have a unique understanding of the game. They can combine skills they have gained from their playing days and can bring that to the boardroom”.

Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler is enrolled on the PFA Business School’s Sporting Directorship programme.

“There is more to football than playing and coaching. It just isn’t about playing and I find that fascinating,” said Fowler.

“We want to see the game grow and be part of it. Coaching and managing is difficult and this job is extremely difficult. It is an avenue to stay within the parameters of football.”
