Cesar Azpilicueta Credits Education for Football Success
Cesar Azpilicueta, the former captain of Chelsea, revealed how education played a crucial role in managing the pressures of professional football. At 37, after retiring from Sevilla, he reflected on his upbringing, where his parents emphasized the importance of education.
Azpilicueta recounted studying for an MBA in business management from the Berlin School of Business and Innovation before Chelsea's 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City, which helped him cope with the surrounding pressure. He captained Chelsea to a 1-0 victory in that final.
Recently, he received a diploma in global football sport directorship from the PFA Business School and also holds a diploma from Harvard Business School. While he expressed interest in a potential career as a sporting director, he currently wishes to enjoy life away from football, focusing on family and leisure activities like golf.
Azpilicueta began his career at Osasuna, later played for Marseille, and joined Chelsea in 2012, making over 500 appearances and winning multiple titles.
