Premier League club Sunderland's manager Paulo Di Canio has demanded that the club's foreign stars must learn five new words in English each day or face a hefty fine.
According to metro.co.uk, Di Canio has already taken control of the lives of most players within his squad, previously banning them from eating tomato ketchup, drinking cola or using ice in their drinks.
The madcap Italian is now getting tough by insisting that any of his summer signings that are struggling with English better learn quickly, the report said.
Di Canio said that the players have one hour before training, one hour after it and they must learn, adding that they must not stand around in groups.
