As a footballer you should always put it in your memory that being a footballer only lasted for a specific period of time that is why he need to prepare well for a life after calling it quit because not all players will switch to coaching role after retired as a player.
Lets now take a look at some great footballer involve in various businesses aside being a footballer
Andres Iniesta

Andres Iniesta's business pursuit is fitting of his suave, classy nature on the pitch. Almost the physical embodiment of grace and elegance, it would be a surprise if he was not a connoisseur of the most sophisticated of alcoholic drinks.
The Barcelona midfielder has his own wine label: Bodega Iniesta. In fact, he has inherited the business from his father, Jose Antonio, who started making wine in vineyards in his hometown of Fuentealbilla.
Ryan Bertrand

Ryan Bertrand - who won the Champions League while with Chelsea - launched fintech brokerage firm Silicon Market in 2015, a company that offers AI technology products to traders and retail investors.
Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo aside from his various fortune on the field and off-pitch is into a fashion business and also a brand ambassador for some.
In 2006, Ronaldo opened his first fashion boutique under the name "CR7" in Madeira, Portugal. Two years later, he opened another in Lisbon, and since then has gone on to release his own range of underwear and socks, as well as a line of premium shirts and shoes. He's even in the hotel business nowadays.
Neymar
Believe me listing the players without mentioning Neymar will be a big hole.
There are few, if any, footballers with the worldwide marketability and influence of Neymar. It's likely that that will continue beyond the completion of his footballing career, too.
Mathieu Flamini
The former Arsenal midfielder's entrepreneurship is vastly different from that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, in that it is entirely unrelated to his footballing career.
Mathieu Flamini has no personal brand - he was an unspectacular defensive midfielder with the Gunners and most recently Crystal Palace. But what he clearly does have is business acumen. The Frenchman is a partner of GF Biochemicals, an environmental company that produces levulinic acid and derivatives.
It's scientific stuff, and it brings in a lot of money. The Sun reported two years ago that the business was worth a huge £20bn. “I was always close to nature and concerned about environmental issues, climate change and global warming," Flamini said.
Levulnic acid, in Flamini's words, is "a molecule identified by the US Department of Energy as one of the 12 molecules with the potential to replace petrol in all its forms". Sounds a bit more complex than kicking a football around.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
It's a surprise to no-one that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's business ventures away from the pitch are very much centred around Zlatan.
Last year, he launched his own sportswear brand, A-Z. Have a guess what the Z stands for... That's right, Zlatan. He has modelled the clothing himself, despite the scar on his right-knee from the recent surgery.
Gerard Pique

Apart from being a widely successful player pique has showed the world his business skills and ability by owning lots of companies among others as well as that, the Catalan defender owns gaming company Kerad Games and has a 27% share in Bas Alimentaria, an additive-free meat company. He's done alright.
