| FOOTBALL LEGENDS SIGN UP FOR INDIAN LEAGUE ... |
Legends of the game including Robert Pires, Hernan Crespo and Fabio Cannavaro are set to play in the lucrative Indian football league.
Players will be paid heavily for their participation in the inaugural competition, which hopes to emulate the success of cricket’s Indian Premier League and runs from February 25th until April 8th.
The league has been set up by the Celebrity Management Group, which has signed a 30-year deal with the Indian FA.
Thirty international players and six coaches will be auctioned off with each of the six teams receiving an ‘icon player’ who will be paid up to $600,000.
Other world stars involved include former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler, Nigerian playmaker Jay-Jay Okocha, Portuguese Maniche and former Real Madrid forward Fernando Morientes.
