Following in his father's footsteps: Cameron Toshack gambled by leaving his role with Swansea's under-23's to manage struggling Cypriot side Pafos FC ... but his father John is always on the end of the phone

When your father has left Cardiff City to become Liverpool’s centre forward and managed the great Real Madrid twice, it’s fair to say taking on a challenge is in your blood.

Cameron Toshack, son of former Liverpool favourite John, reasoned as much when he left his coaching role with Swansea City’s thriving Under 23s to manage struggling Cypriot side Pafos FC.

It is not the obvious route to top-class management, especially taking on a multi-cultural squad consisting of 22 nationalities, but it is, he hopes, a calculated risk.
