MANCHESTER UNITED legend Nemanja Vidic has applied for a surprise new job after spending time at three London clubs, including top-four rivals Tottenham and Chelsea.
Vidic, 41, is back in England on a Uefa course and spent time with Brentford, Chelsea and Tottenham.
The ex-United captain was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium continuing his studies for the Executive Master for International Players run by Uefa.
Joining him was Germany World Cup winners such as Sami Khedira, Benedikt Howedes and Renate Lingor.
Emile Heskey, Nigel de Jong, Demba Ba, Hamit Altintop, Sebastian Prodl and Paul Scharner were also present.
All want to learn skills that would allow them to fit into life in the boardroom, and Vidic is eyeing the presidency position in the Football Association of Serbia, according to The Times.

The former Serbia captain has the support of many fans as well as old team-mates such as Nemanja Matic.
Vidic said: "It is the reason why am I here.
"I understand the football field. I did a course with the English FA and finished my Pro Licence at St George’s.
"Why I am here is to learn about commercial, finance, communication and marketing — which I understood because I was playing for United but we go really deep into it now.”

The legendary defender continued: "In Serbia, the problem is we are staying too much back.
"We didn’t go forward in terms of digitalization, professionalisation and transparency. Serbia is late. We have a lot of talents.
"We have clever people but we just need someone who’s going to point the direction and give a chance to the young generation. This is the world of the young.
"Me coming back is saying I like to be in Serbia. I love Serbia. I’m in my best age and I want to help, if I can, the Serbian community or Serbian football.
"This education here helps me to have knowledge and contacts that I can use to help Serbia football in any way.”
