Andy Carroll: “I can imagine retiring at the beach, at Cap Ferret or Arcachon. Or Pilat!”

In So Foot,
the Girondins de Bordeaux striker, Andy
Carrollwas once again asked about the end of his career, which he hopes will be in five years at the latest.

“The idea was to spend my last seasons having fun. A career is actually very short and mine is obviously coming to an end, I just want to enjoy and give everything I can while my legs still work.”

In the meantime, in addition to football, he likes, like many former athletes, padel.

“It’s really so good!” I started three or four years ago in Spain. I became obsessed with this sport. However, I don't like tennis eh. Because unless you are very good, and play against someone who is also very good, it's difficult to have a real exchange, unlike in padel »

For his post-career, he hasn't set anything yet…

“Buy a pub, why not! In Bordeaux or Cap Ferret! More seriously, I can't imagine retirement, because I don't want to end football. I know it's going to end one day… But I haven't thought too much about what's next. Train? I think I could become a coach, but I don't know if I want to. I know I don't want to become a TV consultant. And even less a winemaker, although I like Bordeaux. It’s too much work… Maybe agent? I don't know. I can imagine retiring at the beach, at Cap Ferret or in Arcachon. Or Pilat! I have to go! “.
