Guv’nor on fast-track for UEFA Pro Licence

PAUL INCE will be fast-tracked to achieve his UEFA Pro Licence under a programme put together by the FA and the players’ union.

The new Blackburn manager is contractually obliged to have earned all his coaching qualifications within two and a half years, and the 40-year-old is to be helped meet the deadline.

The FA and Professional Footballers’ Association last year agreed a fast-track scheme to help a number of young British coaches and Ince will be one of those on the programme.
