SCOTT WISEMAN has seen his workload double after landing a SECOND international management job.
The former Championship star was already the boss of Gibraltar’s women’s team.
Now the 39-year-old has taken charge of the men’s team too.
Wiseman retired from playing back in May 2023, having played in England’s second tier with Hull and Barnsley.
He hung up his boots following a three-year spell at Lincoln Red Imps in Gibraltar.
He was a full international for the British territory as he collected 38 caps.

He now has an even bigger workload as he has landed the top job in the men’s team.
The Gibraltar FA confirmed his appointment with a brief statement and confirmed that his role with the women remains “unaffected.”
