The 30-year-old Frenchman will collaborate with Como’s Head of Development, to help young players prepare for life beyond football through educational programs.

“His involvement will benefit not only the players but also the broader community,” the club noted.

Additionally, Varane will advise on product development strategies, focusing on integrating technology and improving fan engagement.

His appointment aligns with the club’s long-term strategy to build a stronger presence in Italian football.

Recall Como’s Indonesian ownership had previously brought in Cesc Fàbregas, first as a player and now as the team’s coach.
