What do footballers do when they quit? Not everyone decides to stay in the world that made them famous

After hanging up their football boots, most players stay in the world of football by becoming coaches, managers or commentators on television. A smaller number, on the other hand, decide to have nothing more to do with the world of football and devote themselves to a wide variety of professions; perhaps those for which they had a passion as children or which they simply cultivated as a hobby during their careers. From the steering wheel of a rally car to the console of DJ to wine production or even those who have chosen the religious life - here are those who have chosen a change of scenery after their career on the football pitch.

Wine producers

Riccardo Zampagna was never a footballer close to the canon of today's stars, and even when he retired from playing football, he remained true to his ideologies. In fact, the former Messina and Atalanta striker had a dream of opening a tobacco shop, and he made it come true. He runs his business in Terni, the town where he was born and first kicked a ball.
