Vicente del Bosque discusses Usain Bolt's potential future in football

Usain Bolt could make a good full-back following his attempt to become a professional footballer, according to Spain's World Cup-winning manager Vicente del Bosque.

Bolt is currently on trial with the Central Coast Mariners as he tries to earn his first contract in football.

The eight-time Olympic champion has played one friendly with the Australian side, while he also featured in a friendly for Norwegian side Stromsgodset and trained with Borussia Dortmund.

Bolt has played as a left-winger in his appearances so far, but del Bosque thinks his future could lie in a deeper role.

Del Bosque has a glittering career as a manager, with one World Cup, one European Championship and two Champions League titles to his name.
