Former Chelsea midfield Maestro and World Cup winner, N’Golo Kanté who now plies his trade with Al – Ittihad in the Saudi Arabian League has purchased a football club shortly after his new move.
N’Golo Kanté is making a surprising investment.
The World Cup winner has bought Royal Excelsior Virton, a third-division team in Belgium.
The move was announced by the club Thursday, in a statement headlined “Small town, big dreams!” Kanté, who this month completed a move to Saudi champion Al-Ittihad on a three-year deal after six years at Chelsea, is replacing entrepreneur Flavio Becca at the helm of the club bordering France.
“Driven by his passion for soccer, N’Golo Kanté’s aim is to continue structuring the club with a view to consolidating its foundations, stabilizing the staff and ultimately reviving RE Virton’s tradition of training through its youth academy,” the club said.
