Former Real Madrid star Fabio Coentrao has finally dumped football and has ventured into fishing in what was a sensational change of career even though he long time had flair for it.

As it is known worldwide that the game of football cannot be played forever by the players as time will come when they will hang their boots.

Some footballers can be lucky to play the round leader game until the age of 40, while some will not make it as some will even be forced to retirement because of injury.

Recently, former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero retired from football due to health issue which forced him to quit.

Many players after retirement moved into punditry or coaching, but Fábio Coentrão is not looking into that direction.

According to the report on Daily Star, the 33-year-old Portuguese explained that he is not regretting his decision to become a fisherman.

Fabio Coentrao's comment

"Life in the sea is not a shame, as many people think.
"It is a job like any other. Not only that. The sea is beautiful and we need it, it has that there are people working here and the profession should be respected like any other."
