Gerard Pique is set to make a shock return to football – just over a YEAR after hanging up his boots.
The Barcelona and Spain legend emotionally brought the curtain down on his trophy-laden career last November.
But the defender’s love of the beautiful game will see him cut short his retirement to take up a new role.
The former Manchester United man revealed on Tuesday that he’s on the verge of taking up his first coaching role.
Pique, 36, refused to divulge details of his new gig – insisting he’ll keep his cards close to his chest until the right moment.
