Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has hired Terry Gibson to his growing management company.

Griezmann will take a back seat while his playing career continues but intends to assume control once he retires and plans to make his mark on English football.

Griezmann's long-time agent, Hector Fernandez, is currently running the project along with the player's sister, Maud.

After representing United and Tottenham and winning the FA Cup with Wimbledon in 1988, Gibson has become a leading authority on Spanish football after his playing days.

The 58-year-old worked as a scout in Spain for Bolton during Sam Allardyce's spell at the club and has been a regular pundit on UK coverage of LaLiga ever since.

He will be the lead UK football co-ordinator for Griezmann's By&For agency. Aside from Griezmann, there are no household names on the agency's client list, reports the Daily Mail.
