Andrés Iniesta might have hung up his boots but the legendary playmaker is not standing still.
The Barcelona and Spain icon called time on his playing career last month after more than two decades at the game's highest level.
But Iniesta's next chapter will see him following in former teammate Gerard Piqué's footsteps after becoming majority owner of FC Helsingør through his NSN venture.
A deal for the Danish second-tier outfit, who were relegated from the top flight last season, had been on the cards since the 40-year-old's company was involved with the club as a consultant earlier this year.
"We have started working with FC Helsingør because it is an incredibly exciting club with really good facilities, a lot of good people in and around the club and a potential in the city to become an important part of Danish football", Iniesta told Helsingør Dagblad.
Away from his new investment, the World Cup winner has already embarked on studying for a potential coaching career.
Even in retirement, he's still a man of many talents.
