Grant held lengthy talks with president Avi Luzon yesterday and was told that UEFA had sanctioned an initiative that will lead to around a dozen Israeli coaches attending the course.

Grant went to watch Ajax's Klaas Jan Huntelaar in Holland's 1-0 defeat by Romania in Bucharest on Saturday, but the striker was left on the bench.

Liverpool winger Ryan Babel also started on the bench after being dropped by Holland boss Marco van Basten as a punishment for oversleeping for a second time.
