Former Juventus and Arsenal defender Stephan Lichtsteiner has started a new career.

The former right-back has hung up his boots at the age of 37.

Now Lichtsteiner is looking for the next chapter in his life.

It appears he is set to become a watchmaker, as he has started a six-month internship with Zurich firm Maurice de Mauriac.

"I want to do something productive," the 37-year-old said, per the Daily Star.

"If you are a banker... you can do that for all your life, but if you are a footballer once you hit your mid 30s, you have to find something else to do.

"I see some similarities to football. In football if not all the team is perfect you will not win.

"It's the same with a watch, if everything is not perfectly in place the watch is not going to work."
