Korea change sends Park back to school

Park Ji-sung will study a sports management course before potentially working in the South Korean football league.

Former Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung has made a surprise move to Leicester - by enrolling on a sports management course at De Montfort University.

The 35-year-old South Korean - who retired in 2014 due to a knee injury - has signed up to study an International MA in Management, Law, and Humanities of Sport, which is run by the Swiss Centre International d'Etude du Sport (CIES).

The course kicks off in Leicester, before tricky assignments away in Italy and Switzerland.
