A university is helping launch a course aimed at helping the next generation of finance executives working in professional football.
Loughborough University – one of the UK’s top sports universities – has worked with finance expert and former graduate Neill Wood on an online programme providing a broad understanding of football finance using first-hand industry experience. The course is being hosted by Loughborough’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences.
It covers areas ranging from the basic principles of financial accounting upwards to help individuals build a foundation culminating in a review of UEFA Financial Fair Play. It has been designed to allow work to be done on demand, and is aimed at anyone from finance and non-finance specialists to current or former players, agents, and even whole football clubs.
