After an illustrious career with Manchester United, Raphael Varane made the decision to leave the club at the end of last season. However, it didn't take long for the former defender to find a new role in the world of football.
Just weeks after retiring from playing, Varane has joined the ranks of Italian side Como. Unfortunately, his debut was cut short after only 23 minutes due to an injury. But despite this setback, the 31-year-old has decided to extend his stay at the club by accepting a position on the board.
In his new role, Varane will be overseeing the development of young players at Como and providing valuable insights for the club's product development strategy. He expressed his excitement for this new chapter in his career, stating that transitioning from the field to the boardroom is not an end, but a new beginning.
Throughout his playing days, Varane's motivation was always to strive for excellence and constant improvement. And now, he sees this opportunity with Como as a way to continue contributing to the sport and shaping its future.
Although he only played one game for Como before retiring, Varane is eager to continue his football journey in a different capacity. He sees this as a second birth, not an ending, and is grateful to be a part of an ambitious project that aligns with his values.
On the club's side, Mirwan Suwarso, the head of Como, expressed his delight in having Varane join the board. He highlighted the Frenchman's impressive achievements on the field and believes that his interest in youth and education will greatly benefit the club's future.
Varane himself recently admitted that he had planned to end his playing career at Manchester United. However, he felt the urge to move on this summer as the club's project "didn't suit him." Despite this, he remains a fan of the club and is excited to see its progress in the future.
