Gareth Bale has landed a punditry job for Tottenham’ Europa League finalCredit: GettyThe Welsh Tottenham icon retired from playing in 2023 off the back of the winter World Cup.
And he has enjoyed retirement by playing golf, modelling and doing the odd punditry gig for TNT Sports.
That will continue tomorrow night after the broadcaster announced Bale will be part of their coverage team in Spain – where he spent nine years.
The winger left Spurs for Real Madrid in 2013 in a then world-record transfer fee of £85million.
He won three LaLiga titles and FIVE Champions League trophies in the Spanish capital.
But his time in Madrid was marred with criticism about his attitude, despite 106 goals in 258 games.
Tottenham play in their first European final since heartbreak defeat in the Champions League against Liverpool in 2019.
And they were beaten by Manchester City in the 2021 League Cup final.

United meanwhile won the Europa League under Jose Mourinho in 2017 but lost in the 2021 final to Villarreal on penalties.
Both Premier League struggles come into the game in horror form with Spurs 17th and United one place above and without a win in a club-record eight matches.
Managers Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim are under mounting pressure with the European trophy seen as a way to soften their nightmare seasons.
