Former Arsenal and Everton defender Philippe Senderos is happy in his job as sporting director of Servette.

Weeks after announcing his retirement in December 2019, Senderos was in a Madrid classroom, beginning the Spanish FA's Sporting Director course. Within eight months of finishing as a player, he was appointed Sporting Director at Swiss club Servette FC.

“I started researching straight away what I could do next, I wanted to be active," says Senderos to evertonfc.com.

“I loved playing and I miss it every day.

“The dynamic is different in this job but it fulfils me, there are so many things I can develop.

“I can't rely only on the weekend's result to grow the club, I need a bigger picture.

“I am learning where to put my energy to be productive. I have to pick my battles."
