Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is making a shock return to the game as director of soccer at New York Cosmos.
The Cosmos are rising from the flames, with their eventual aim being to secure a place in MLS, and they are determined to make a huge impact. Chairman Paul Kemsley has recruited Cantona with the brief of assembling a squad capable of challenging for honours.
"I am very honoured to join the legendary New York Cosmos," Cantona said. "It's a big project, a wonderful project. The Cosmos are very strong, beautifully made, with a great past. It's kind of a mix between football and art.
Welcome back!
cool. He is a special guy. And start up with the club that Pele played in is cool. US soccer needs that.
I just got a new favorite team in the US:)
Its New York Cosmos!
I just hope he won't get his team to learn some "kung fu" techniques on opponents or fans :P.
OhAhCantona......:-) I like this!
