Utrecht bring in Adams as a coach 
 
Former England and Arsenal captain Tony Adams will begin work as trainee coach with Dutch side Utrecht on Monday.
 
Adams helped coach Feyenoord's Under-21 squad in July in a bid to gain more experience of the European game.

And he will now be added to the first team technical staff at Utrecht on a "work placement" similar to his stint at Feyenoord, the club website said.

Utrecht boss Foeke Booy said: "He wants to see how we work. He'll join us for a month and then we may extend his stay."

Adams has been improving his knowledge and experience of European football with coaching spells in Italy, France and Belgium.

The former centre-back quit as manager of Wycombe Wanderers in November 2004 for personal reasons a year after he joined.

He retired as a player at Arsenal in 2002.
