A major player from Racing Club de Lens has made an important announcement.
The post-career period is always difficult to understand for a professional footballer, but some players have a very clear idea of their career path. This is the case of Adrien Thomasson.
The versatile midfielder Lens Racing Club has already planned for the next chapter of his life, as he approaches retirement, at the age of 31. The former Strasbourg resident imagines a future as a manager, and more precisely as a sports director.
“I am very curious, I have things to learn”
“It is a medium, long term vision, more oriented towards the future, explained Adrien Thomasson in La Voix du Nord. This is why this job appeals to me enormously, unlike a coach, who is more in the moment. I am very curious, and I have things to learn in the marketing sector, in communication too.”
“I am lucky to be in a very important club in France, with very competent people. With Arnaud Pouille (former general manager, who left for Rennes, editor’s note) already, there were plenty of things to take on. I studied English a lot, now I’m studying Spanish. And UEFA launches training every year“, also detailed the midfielder.
