The 2006 World Cup-winner caused a stir when he advertised his services on the job website, but the right-back has no regrets.

Cristian Zaccardo has had “lots of offers” due to his LinkedIn advert, and will donate a Sport Business scholarship.
The 2006 World Cup-winner caused a stir when he advertised his services on the job website, but the right-back has no regrets.
“I’ve already found a team,” Zaccardo said in a LinkedIn update.
“The biggest and strongest team in the world: it’s YOU! With your love, affection and support you’ve given me a lot of enthusiasm.
“Yes, even though breaking the mould can cause a lot of clamour these days, in a few years’ time other athletes will probably look for other clubs on LinkedIn.
“For this reason I’ve decided, when I find a team, to donate a scholarship in Sport Business Management at the Sole 24 Ore business school.
“If social media is used in the right way, it can bring big advantages. I’ve received lots of offers, and in the next few days I’ll make my decision.
“Finding out that lots of people love you, and that my values both on and off the field are appreciated by a lot of people working in this area is something magical.
“It’s the same magic I felt when I lifted the World Cup. Thanks to everyone, from the bottom of my heart.”
