Steve McClaren enrols in Sporting Directorship university course and says 'the future will be as a chief executive or sporting director'

Steve McClaren has enrolled at Manchester Metropolitan University while he ponders his next move in football.

He is studying Sporting Directorship in order to gain a Masters degree from the two-year, part time degree.
