Soccer bosses in working gear in India, taking a break (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on safari

'taking a break' is the definition.

'soccer bosses in working gear in india' is the wordplay.
'soccer bosses' becomes 'fa' (the Football Association).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'working' becomes 'on'.
'gear in india' becomes 'sari' (type of Indian garment).
'on'+'sari'='onsari'
'fa' put within 'onsari' is 'ON SAFARI'.

(Another definition for on safari that I've seen is " holidaying in Africa?".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
