Some of Europe's leading coaches believe it's time to do away with the rule. The annual gathering of top coaches in Switzerland heard that top bosses want the rule scrapped, citing that football has moved on since it was first introduced in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1965.
Managers present included Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, Arsenal 's Unai Emery, Napoli's Carlo Ancelotti, PSG boss Thomas Tuchel , new Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui, Atlético Madrid's Diego Simeone and Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
"The coaches think that scoring goals away is not as difficult as it was in the past," said UEFA's deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti.
"They think the rule should be reviewed and that's what we will do."
Another topic discussed at the summit was the summer transfer window. The Premier League opted to close its transfer window early this summer, before the season kicked off.
At the summit, most coaches were reportedly in favour of European transfer windows close at the same time, prior to the start of the season.Explore more on these topics:
