An agreement reached between the Glen Hoddle Academy and the Jerez Industrial football club has meant that 12 of the Academy’s players have returned to Spain for the rest of the season.
It comes after the former England manager, who set up the Academy near Jerez in 2008, decided to relocate the centre’s base back to the UK ‘to be closer to its principle market for players’. The club’s failure to pay back Hoddle’s loan appears to have been the reason behind the decision.
The Glenn Hoddle Academy was set up to offer a route back into professional football for youngsters who had been discarded by the top professional clubs, agreeing a deal with Jerez Industrial to supply the players for the club, plus the loan from the ex England international player.
Glenn Hoddle said in a statement on the Academy’s website last week which announced the news of the agreement, ‘The academy has once again saved the club from extinction, despite not being repaid its loan of more than €174,000 and this shows, again, our commitment to the club’.
