We no longer count them all these former professional athletes who decide to keep in shape thanks to the padel.

Indeed after Francesco Totti, Iker casillas, Tony Parker or even more recently Sylvain Wiltord as well as the shock pair Benoît Cheyrou – Christophe Jallet it's the turn of the ex-international of "Roja" Fernando Llorente to swap his crampons for a pala.

At 37, the former striker of Juventus and the Spanish football team has decided to end his professional career after 18 years of good and loyal service. Like many of his former colleagues, the native of Pamplona is passionate about padel. We were able to see it many times in the 20×10.

Fernando Llorente

Asked about the possibility of continuing to play football as a hobby, Fernando Llorente replied: “no I prefer to stay in shape by playing padel. "

The Spaniard thus joins this merry band of former footballers who, rather than treading the grass, prefer to have fun with the little yellow ball.

Sebastien Carrasco

Future naturopath and passionate about padel, Seb is the health/food gentleman of Padel Magazine. He juggles between pala, quinoa and essential oils. For almost two years now he has been dealing with the news of the little yellow ball with the same passion.
