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.
