Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas will become part of the club’s coaching staff as he continues his recovery from a heart attack. The 38-year-old, who won the World Cup with Spain in 2010, suffered “an acute myocardial infarction” during training at the beginning of May. He has not been given medical clearance yet to resume his playing career but has not announced his retirement either. I’ll try to make the connection between the team and the club,” Casillas told the club website. Casillas played 167 times for Spain and captained his country to their first ever World Cup triumph in South Africa.
