Former Chelsea star looks unrecognisable after Premier League winner vowed to become monkA Premier League winner with Chelsea left fans stunned by his new-look appearanceView 3 Images This ex-Chelsea star had quite the career shift in mind after retiring from football (Image: X)Former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman committed to becoming a monk after ending his career and now looks unrecognisable in a shock transformation. The former striker enjoyed a nomadic footballing career that spanned nine countries, but he'll certainly be remembered best by Premier League fans for the one season he spent at Stamford Bridge. He did, however, pick up a Premier League winner's medal and the League Cup trophy - while scoring the winner in the 3-2 final win over Liverpool. Believing he had a higher calling than his sporting career, Kezman previously revealed his intention to become a monk. Despite not living up to expectations at Chelsea, Kezman once revealed his delight in his experience at Stamford Bridge, albeit regretting his failure to repay the faith of the fans.
