The Game Plan welcomes its first international guest! a 17-year football icon and La Liga legend, Gaizka Mendieta, to talk about life after football and the challenges his businesses are experiencing in the face of the COVID-19 crisis.
We discuss a range of topics including the differences between professional sport in the US and Europe, and what it was like to garner one of the largest transfer fees of all time (€48m in 2001). Mendieta talks about the rise of his playing career during the “golden era” of Valencia FC, and his experience playing in both Seria A in Italy and the Premier League in England. Not to be missed is the conversation about his passions beyond football and investing, which include how he became a DJ and the effort that goes into staying connected with fans.
Please follow Gaizka @GaizkaMendieta6 on both Twitter and Instagram to keep up with his all moves off the pitch.
