Andrés Iniesta buys Danish third-tier club FC Helsingør

The former Barcelona and Spain midfielder has acquired a majority stake in the club

Andrés Iniesta has become the latest former footballer to buy a stake in a football club after retiring from playing.

The former Barcelona and Spain midfielder has acquired a majority stake in Danish third-tier club FC Helsingør.

Iniesta, who won nine La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues with Barcelona, retired from playing in 2018.

He is the latest in a growing number of high-profile footballers to buy stakes in clubs after retirement.

David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, and Gary Neville are among those who have done so in recent years.

Iniesta is reportedly paying around €10 million for his stake in FC Helsingør.

The club is currently top of the Danish third tier and is hoping to win promotion to the second tier this season.

Iniesta is expected to play a role in the club's development both on and off the pitch.

He is likely to use his experience and contacts to help the club improve its playing squad and its infrastructure.

Iniesta is a highly respected figure in the world of football and his involvement is likely to raise the profile of FC Helsingør.

The club is hoping that Iniesta's involvement will help it to achieve its goals of promotion and success in the future.
