Tottenham midfielder Parker sets sights on becoming manager

Management training: Scott Parker

England captain Scott Parker has taken his first steps to football management by starting his coaching badges.

The Tottenham midfielder, 31, would require four badges before he is fully licensed to coach at the top level: the FA levels one and two and the UEFA B and A qualifications.

Parker has already worked with some of the world's most high profile managers, including Jose Mourinho and Harry Redknapp at club level and Sven Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello at international level.
