In October, he ended his player career – but Andrés Iniesta continues within football.

The Spaniard, who among other things has won the European Championship, the World Championship and the Champions League, has bought the majority of the shares in the Danish Division 2 club FC Helsingør.

Football, that is the sport, is what we like, says Iniesta to Danish TV2.

It is with confidence that I become a part of the club and try to contribute with all the experience from many different environments to develop and improve the club.

It is through the 40-year-old's company Never Say Never, in collaboration with Stoneweg, that he enters the club.

Iniesta's player career spanned 22 years and he led Barcelona to, among other things, four Champions League victories and nine league titles. After his time in La Liga, he played in Japan and the United Arab Emirates.
