While working on French TV for the World Cup, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger found some time today to play a bit of the local’s favourite sport in Rio; beach soccer.

In fact Wenger was playing Footvolley, the beach volleyball/football hybrid that looks easy but we bet it’s insanely difficult if you are not used to it.

We suspect Wenger isn’t used to it, as he seems to struggle a bit here but for a 64-year-old man dressed all in black on a very hot beach he doesn’t do too badly.

The fella he is playing with is former French international Bixente Lizarazu, who isn’t in bad nick for a man who will be 45 later this year.
