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.

According to Wise, his stake in the club was "private."
