Meanwhile Clattenburg is enjoying a spell out of the game after leaving his role as head of refereeing in Egypt due to safety fears after threats from fans.
He suffered some outrageous abuse from Mortada Mansour, the president of Zamalek Sporting Club.
Mansour has been critical of Clattenburg’s role in Egyptian football and incorrectly claimed that the ex-ref had left his wife to start a gay relationship.
