Steve McClaren has revealed he is learning Spanish as he plots his return to management.
"I have recently been doing Spanish lessons and getting private tuition and I thought about doing it when I was a club manager," the former Middlesbrough boss said on the League Managers Association website.
"When I was working at Derby, Manchester United and Middlesbrough, we were bringing foreign players into the clubs and we were dealing with foreign clubs and foreign agents.
"It sort of embarrassed me that everyone could speak a bit of English and we couldn't speak any of these foreign languages. I always vowed that when I had time I would learn a language.
"I have decided upon Spanish, so if you do get foreign players, clubs or agents etc. then I can at least have a little bit of a conversation with them."
