Footballer Retires To Become A DJ

Footballer Retires To Become A DJ

A former Liverpool and France forward has retired from football to pursue a dream and become an international DJ. Can you guess who it is?

Djibril Cisse originally called time on his playing career in October 2015 due to a hip injury, but hoped that after having surgery last year there was a chance of returning to field.                                                                                            

The 35-year-old footballer was training with French outfit Auxerre in a bid to get a contract, but sadly didn't, and that sparked his decision to call time on his 17-year playing career.

The striker, who was well known for his crazy hairstyles and large amount of tattoos, has been Dj'ing on the side for quite some years, but now he plans on making it his new career.

"I loved being a footballer, and so far the ball has been my life," Cisse told Yahoo Sport. "I would have liked to continue playing but I must admit, today, that football is over.

"With the same passion, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to my career as DJ, producer and consultant, as well as developing my clothing brand.

"Thank you for all your support. The adventure continues, another life begins. A lion never dies."

Do you think Cisse's DJ career will be a lot stronger than his time in football?
