FORMER Premier League boss Alan Pardew has made a shock career change and formed a surprise double act.
The 62-year-old has swapped the dugout for the talkSPORT radio studio.
Pardew will be on air to discuss the Premier League and take listeners' phone calls from 6:30pm to 9pm every Sunday alongside DJ and Tottenham fan Majestic.
The Final Word with Maj and Pards is part of talkSPORT's shake-up ahead of the new season with broadcast legend Jeff Stelling to replace Laura Woods on the breakfast show.
Pardew has been out of work since leaving Greek club Aris Thessaloniki in February this year.
He has also had spells in charge of Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia and Dutch outfit ADO Den Haag in the last four years.
