- Antoine Griezmann had associated with Puma throughout his career
- But now it is the new face of the decathlon and will help design new products
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Ruben Amorim's comments are notable … but can we blame it?
Antoine Griezmann has finished his career association with Puma and signed with the French sports brand Decathlon.
The winner of the France World Cup has been using blats blackened in recent matches with rumors that turned on who would sign Griezmann after leaving Puma at the end of last season.
And Decathlon has won the race to sign the 33 -year -old while striving to increase his presence in the global game.
Decathlon became suppliers of the Europa League and the UEFA conferences this season, through its Kipsta brand, and the firm and Griezmann is its last statement of intention.
The star of Atlético de Madrid will not only become the face of the company's football line, but will play a creative role in the brand design process, collaborating in new products.
Now the agreement is official, its blackened boots, which were disguised decathlon boots, will be replaced by a yellow edition of the Kipsta CLR.

“I am delighted to join Decathlon as an ambassador of a brand that embodies the key values for me,” said Griezmann.
'By making football accessible to all through inclusive, innovative and high -performance products, decathlon allows people to experience the magic of this universal sport that I have had the joy of playing for more than 20 years.
“This new adventure is really inspiring to me, since it offers me a unique opportunity to contribute directly to the co-creation of products that I will use in the field, including boots that further push performance limits.”
The agreement is another blow to Puma, who, last month, faced a marketing disaster when Marc Cucurella in Chelsea threw his boots of £ 220 in the paper after falling twice in the clash of his side with Tottenham.
After the second slip, Cucurella ran on the touch line and changed to a different pair of puma boots.
Decathlon will be anxious to avoid any similar resonance while they seek to break the great domain in Puma, Adidas and Nike football.
