Former Ivory Coast forward Didier Drogba and former Senegal midfielder Khalilou Fadiga have enrolled for the Uefa's Executive Master for International Players (MIP).
The duo joins former football stars including Andrey Arshavin, Kaka, Julio Cesar and Florent Malouda in taking the course which would equip their professional skills needed for success off the field, in areas like football management and administration.
Uefa's Executive Master for International Players (MIP) is a 20-month course that starts with the first session in Nyon in November and runs through until the summer of 2021.
Several ex-football stars like Eric Abidal, Simon Rolfes, Rai are graduates of the programme and have taken up sporting directors roles at Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen's women, and Sao Paulo, respectively.
