Jérémy Mathieu, a former Sporting and Barcelona defense, hung his boots in 2023, but the end of his career within the four lines did not mean the total removal of the world of sport. Surprisingly – at least for those who met him on the most prestigious stages of football – Mathieu is now working… at a sports articles store.
The information was advanced by the French newspaper The teamafter a photograph has become viral on social networks. In the image, the former Frenchmanational is to wear a jacket from the intersport chain, which led many to wonder if it would be it. The answer is yes. The photograph was taken by two fans who recognized him in a brand store in Cabrès, a town near Marseille, and did not miss the opportunity to record the moment.
According to the same publication, Mathieu is at the intersport on his own will and not just as an employee: generates one of the store departments while attending a course to become a coach.

Despite shining on major stages, such as the Champions League (which he won for Barcelona) or the Club World Cup, the former central opted for a quieter and more discreet life after professional football. In Portugal, he left good memories, having won a cup of Portugal and two cups of the Sporting service league.
Mathieu thus seems to be another example that, after the stardom, there is life – and work – far from the spotlight.
