Former Chelsea winger Jesper Gronkjaer has given up his cushy job as a pundit to become a builder.
The Danish bellend, who played for the Blues between 2000 and 2004, has decided to swap the comfort of the studio for the graft of the building site. What a muppet!
The former Ajax and Atletico Madrid man has been working for Swedish TV channel Viaplay since hanging up his boots in 2011, but has now decided to take up a new career in construction.
Speaking to Ajax ahead of their Champions League clash with Chelsea, Gronkjaer said: "I feel really good. I currently live in Aarhus, live a good life, and am far removed from the football world."
"I wanted to try something else, and now I'm in construction and apartment renovation, something completely new. During the last years of my career, I'd thought about it a few times, but I first became a pundit."
The 48-year-old also revealed that his new career has allowed him to find fulfilment in his personal life that he couldn't as a footballer. He said: "I enjoy my free time. Back then, it wasn't a problem, but now my days aren't fully planned out. That's just how it was then, part of the job."
"As a footballer, you're always in a (very pleasant) bubble. But you're also quite isolated. Now I live more in the background and can do other things, skiing, padel, travelling; all the things I couldn't do while playing football."
Gronkjaer's verdict on Chelsea vs Ajax
When asked about the Champions League clash between his former clubs, Gronkjaer admitted he doesn't watch much football anymore. What a mug!
He said: "Sorry, but I don't watch that much football anymore. I still follow Ajax, but it's hard for me to say what will happen on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge."
"I was at that crazy 4–4 in 2019 [in the Champions League group stage], and I really got into the match then. Seeing the iconic Ajax shirt again, I was completely drawn in. But this Wednesday, no, I can't say."
What a load of nonsense. Gronkjaer is taking the piss out of the beautiful game. He's a disgrace to football and should be ashamed of himself. What a waste of space!
