Retired French icon Thierry Henry was revealed as a new shareholder of ambitious Italian Serie B club Como, at a news conference alongside CEO and former Chelsea captain Dennis Wise.
Como, owned by Indonesian tobacco giant Djarum, is targeting a return to Serie A for the first time since 2003.
It rose from Serie D in 2017 to Serie B, where it finished 13th last season.
Wise refused to reveal any details about Henry's role at the club, or how much money Henry had invested to become a shareholder.
According to Wise, his stake in the club was "private."
