Usain Bolt has shared his desire of becoming a footballer but right now the world knows him as the speed star. 9 time Olympic Gold medal winner holds the fastest 100-meter world record as well. He will now join with German club
"It's not a joke, it's not a marketing stunt," the club's CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke told Germany's Kicker online on Sunday.
"It has been decided for some time," he said, adding that the idea had been mentioned by sportswear maker Puma, a corporate partner of both the team and Bolt.
"Puma boss Bjoern Gulden, who is also a member of our supervisory board, told me weeks ago that Usain had asked if he could train with us," Watzke said.
"I said sure, no problem at all ... We're happy, it's an honour for us."
They have put down the talks of Bolt joining them as a team player. He said nothing can be said about this and this is discretely the decision of the player. Club will not force the start athlete. He is here to learn the game of his dreams and we will definitely help him to our best.
