Town skipper Luke Chambers is spending this week in Northern Ireland looking to add to his coaching badges.
The 30-year-old, who started working for his badges during his time with Nottingham Forest, is working his his UEFA A License with the Irish Football Association, with whom ex-Blues boss and skipper Jim Magilton is the elite performance director.
Chambers has long-held ambitions to go into management a few years down the line when he has to hang up his boots.
"I want to be a manager when I finish playing, that’s something I’ve thought about and it’s what I want to do,” he told the club site early last year.
"I want to stay in the game and I think I’d be suited to a managerial role.”
