Andrés Iniesta's New Role as Co-Owner

In a surprising turn of events following his recent retirement from professional football, former Barcelona and Spanish international superstar Andrés Iniesta has officially become the co-owner of the Danish third-division team, Helsingør. The announcement was made on Thursday, marking a significant shift in Iniesta's career.

Iniesta's Transition into Management

At 40 years of age, Iniesta is stepping into the world of football management for the first time. His new venture arrives alongside his pursuit of coaching badges in the United Arab Emirates, where he aims to hone his skills with aspirations of managing a team one day.

Partnership with Stoneweg

The deal sees Iniesta's company, NSN—focused on sports management and consulting—team up with the Swiss investment group Stoneweg to take control of Helsingør. Expressing his enthusiasm, Iniesta stated, "It's a fantastic opportunity to get to know football in a different way." He further elaborated in an interview with Helsingør Dagblad, sharing his admiration for the club's facilities and the positive atmosphere surrounding the city. He emphasized the potential of Helsingør to become a significant player in Danish football.

Current Status of Helsingør

Currently, Helsingør is in seventh place in their 12-team division and is guided by Spanish head coach Pep Alomar, with Quim Ramón serving as the sporting director—alluding to a strong Spanish influence within the club. Iniesta was seen actively participating in training sessions this week and plans to attend the upcoming match against Ishøj this weekend.
