depends how successful they are most of the top players these days dont need to do anything if theyve invested wisely, their is always tv punditry but others that have retired in the past that dont make a lot of money go on to live and work like normal people. i read somewhere recently that one footballer went on to sell bouncy castles or something like that.

Pele, the Brazilian superstar, went on to become minister of sport for Brazil.
Wayne Rooney said he wants to run a pet shop, lol.
We all know Gary Lineker, Alan Hansen, and mark lawenson appear on BBC sport for "match of the day"
If their name is Diego Maradona they just become very fat.
Sometimes they'll appear on Charity games. Johan cruyff did for Arsenal's testimonial match. And the old "celebrities vs retired pros" game on sky sports you get once a year.
Usually they do nothing, because they are rich. Or they become pundits.
