Nearly 40 European national associations have sent UEFA Pro license student coaches to the House of European Football in Nyon to take part in UEFA's coach education exchange programme and gain invaluable knowledge about what awaits them in future careers, UEFA official web page said.

A number of former top-flight footballers from Albania, Armenia, Greece and Montenegro were present for the latest session in a programme which caters for Pro license students taking first steps towards a coaching career. Guest of honour this time was Gareth Southgate, the former England defender and Middlesborough FC manager.

Amid a comprehensive programme, the students were made aware of UEFA's commitment to eliminating the scourge of match-fixing from football. They were asked to adhere to 'Three Rs' – recognize an approach; reject it by saying no; and report it. It was UEFA's obligation, UEFA intelligence coordinator Graham Peaker told the delegates, to protect players, officials and coaches as well as to safeguard the well-being of European football.
