However, this career shift does not draw away from the controversy surrounding Pogba, who faces a four-year ban from professional football imposed by the Italian anti-doping tribunal following a failed doping test in August 2023. Pogba has vowed to appeal the decision, but his future in the sport remains uncertain.
