PAUL POGBA has made a career change with the midfielder set to appear in his first feature film.
The Juventus star is currently sidelined after being banned for four years after testing positive for the banned substance dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
Therefore, he is looking for paths outside of football and acting in the upcoming French film ‘4 Zéros’ – a sequel to the 2002 film ‘3 Zéros’, due for release in April 2025.
According to French outlet Le Parisien Pogba plays a youth football coach.
The report adds that the French international “appeared relaxed, smiling, available and very comfortable in front of the cameras”.
Pogba was filmed in two scenes in the film, both at the Parc Stadium in Rueil-Malmaison, on the outskirts of Paris.
The film is about an aspiring football player from the African country Comoros who dreams of becoming a star for Paris Saint-Germain, while a scout seeks to discover the next Kylian Mbappe.
Pogba, 31, has also been spotted in London since being banned, as he watched his childhood friend Kurt Zouma in action for West Ham against Tottenham.
Pogba’s suspension runs from September 11, 2023 – the date on which he was provisionally banned pending the investigation – until September 10, 2027.
The Frenchman confirmed that he intends to appeal the decision.

He said in a statement in February: “I was informed today of the decision of the Tribunale Nazionale Anti-Doping and I believe the verdict is incorrect.
“I’m sad, shocked and heartbroken because everything I built in my professional career was taken away from me.
“When I am free from legal restrictions the full story will become clear, but I have never knowingly or deliberately taken any supplements in violation of anti-doping regulations.
“As a professional athlete, I would never do anything to improve my performance using banned substances,
“And I have never disrespected or deceived other athletes and fans of any of the teams I played for or against.
