His time in the dugout has taken him across four countries, but he is yet to secure a role in England.<\/p>\n
And on Tuesday night, Fowler shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, outlining his new qualification from Liverpool University.<\/p>\n

Fowler has been out of work since his sacking by Saudi second tier side Al-Qadsiah in October<\/p>\n
Fowler started his managerial career by taking charge of Muangthong United in Thailand back in 2011, where he was an existing player.<\/p>\n
The former Liverpool star then managed\u00a0Australian side Brisbane Roar between 2019 and 2020, before taking over Indian Super League outfit East Bengal FC for the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n
In June of this year, Fowler was appointed as boss of Saudi second tier side Al-Qadsiah, but was brutally sacked in October\u00a0despite guiding the team to second in the table.<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old had overseen six wins and two draws since taking charge of the club and was named manager of the month for the division in September.<\/p>\n
He was replaced by former Real Madrid and Spain striker Michel in the role, with\u00a0Al-Qadsiah since rising from second to first in the table.<\/p>\n
In a statement at the time of his departure, Al-Qadsiah – who finished 11th last season – said: ‘The management of Al-Qadsiah Sports Club have decided to terminate the contractual relationship with first team football coach, Mr. Robbie Fowler.<\/p>\n
‘The club appreciates the coach’s efforts and professionalism and wishes him all the success in his professional career.’<\/p>\n
