UsAIN Bolt will no longer pursue a career as a professional football player.
The eight-time Olympic champion trained with Australian A-League club Central Coast Mariners for two months last year.
But sprint king Bolt left in November because the club could not source financial support to underpin a professional contract for him.
“It was fun while it lasted,” said Bolt. ‘I don’t want to say it wasn’t dealt with properly, but I think we went about it not the way we should.” He added: “You live and you learn. It was a good experience – I really enjoyed just being in a team.”
The 32-year-old Jamaican scored twice on his debut for the Mariners in a friendly. He also trained with clubs in Norway and Germany, but the 100m and 200m world record holder will concentrate on his commercial interests.
“I’m now moving into different businesses, I have a lot of things in the pipeline, so as I say, I’m just dabbling in everything and trying to be a business man now.”
Bolt retired from athletics in 2017. – MailOnline
