"Surprisingly difficult" FIFA test failed by half of Polish football managers

Five out of the ten candidates applying for a FIFA football managers' license failed the test conducted by the Polish Football Federation (PZPN). Among the unfortunate candidates was Ryszard Szuster, former manager of one of Poland's biggest stars, Emmanuel Olisadebe. The test consisted of 20 questions, of which 15 were prepared by FIFA and the remaining five by PZPN, which had to be answered in 45 minutes. "The test was surprisingly difficult," said long-time manager Jerzy Kopa. He managed to pass, however, despite the fact that he took his previous exam "probably thirty years ago." (Zycie, p.18) T.J.
