England star, 32, to land amazing new job organising Euro 2028 while playing in Premier League

The 32-year-old is set to land a role on the board of directors for the tournament – which will take place in England, Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales – thanks to FA chair Debbie Hewitt.

That’s according to The Telegraph, who claim Hewitt has “earmarked” the centre-back for the position.

Mings, who was in England’s squad for the 2020 Euros which was played around the continent, is on course to be one of the organising team’s “independent non-executive directors”.

Should he bag the job, he’ll become the first player of note to land such an influential position.

Mings is no stranger to a directorial position as he’s on interior design company KTM’s board of directors.

The England international will be able to provide organisers with insight into international player’s perspectives on the tournaments.

Mings has 18 England caps to his name, the last of which came against Malta nearly two years ago.

He’ll likely be out of international contention when Euro 2028 rolls around as he’ll be 35 years old.

Mings missed the duration of the 2023/24 season with a potentially career-ending knee injury, which led to muscle atrophy in his leg.

He’s made 16 appearances so far this season and played a pivotal role in Villa reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
