Well it finally came to pass that FIFA accepted me as a student in their program - Masters in Sports Management! So out of the window went all plans pertaining to the MBA at the Asian Institute of Management (well for the time being atleast). The Masters in Sports Management is a course conducted by CIES (which is French for International Centre for Sports Studies) in association with FIFA. The course is divided into 3 parts the first of which starts in Leicester at the De Montford University which deals with the Humanities of sport. From Leicester, after a small break for christmas we're off to Milan to the Bocconi School of Management for the Business management module of the course and then lastly to Neuchatel in Switzerland to the University of Neuchatel for the module pertaining to Law.
I have just arrived in Leicester for the Pre- seasonal english course, which is a excuse to get here in time to hopefully catch a few games of the India- England one day international series. For now ten of my classmates doing the same course have turned up, and it is quite an experience studying with people from all over the world, an experience i'm enjoying every bit of!! Hopefully more good things and times to come.
