Leicester hero Morgan targets exec role after retirement

Former Leicester City captain Wes Morgan is eyeing a role in the boardroom after his retirement.

The 37-year-old wants to be part of the governance in sport to force change around racism and diversity.

"You can never say never but I have no aspirations to be a manager at this point in time," Morgan told Sky Sports News.

"The last couple of years I've gained qualifications in sports business management and corporate governance.

"If there was an area I'd like to go into, it would be as an executive, in the boardroom, the office side of the game. It's something I think I'd enjoy. I've made no decisions, I'm keeping all my options open.

"I'm already working on the board of the Professional Footballers' Association and I'm involved with working groups with the Premier League and The FA, so that's the type of area I'm focusing on."
