Holland Pro-Active

Crewe’s Academy Director Steve Holland is to take his UEFA Pro-license this summer. His application to sit the diploma has been accepted, enabling him to work at the very highest level. From 2010, Premier League rules will stipulate that any manager wishing to work in the Premiership will require the license.

The news will suggest to some that Holland is being groomed as the club’s next manager, with the news that he is to sit his pro-license likely to impress many.
