Gone are the days of standing between the two posts and being the last man in defence for Michel Vorm.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City goalkeeper now operates a new barbershop which aims to provide its client with the full ‘men experience’.

After being released by Spurs in July, the Dutch international brought an end to his 15-year career when he announced his retirement last month.

According to Dutch media giants NOS, the 37-year-old is settling into life after football by opening a styling salon for men in his hometown of Utrecht.

Besides serving as a beauty salon for men, the establishment also consists of a sports cafe area complete with TV screens and other amenities like foosball tables.

Despite taking a break from football, Vorm still keep tabs on his old club Tottenham Hotspur and revealed manager Jose Mourinho is the right man to take the club forward –

Five or six years ago you couldn’t have imagined that he would become a Tottenham coach.

Now you can see his style more clearly at Tottenham. Now you can start judging him a bit more. Mourinho really insists on winning a prize. I get along very well with him.

Look, people also have a certain image of Louis van Gaal. I also worked very well with him with the Dutch national team. I also think Van Gaal is a nice man and I see similarities with Mourinho. Of course I had a certain image of him.

But when you work with him, it is different. I like a clear way of communicating and Mourinho is very direct. Take it or leave it.
