Dimitar Berbatov's new job, net worth and X-rated Tottenham Hotspur exit

Dimitar Berbatov is back on our screens this weekend as the former Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur striker has taken up a new role as a pundit

Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov has stepped into his new role on Sunday afternoon, ahead of the final round of Premier League matches before October's international break.

With regular Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville on duty with NBC in the US this weekend and Roy Keane also absent from the studio, Berbatov has joined the Super Sunday panel. The Bulgarian is pulling double duty as an expert on both Spurs and Manchester United, who are playing in today's other Premier League match.

So, with Berbatov back on our screens, here at football.london we have decided to delve deeper into what he's been up to since leaving the Premier League stage.

Post-Premier League career

After impressing for Tottenham, Berbatov made the move to United in 2008. Four years later, the centre-forward was sold to Fulham, where he scored 20 goals in 54 appearances. A brief but memorable spell at Craven Cottage ended with a move to AS Monaco in 2014.

He then had stints at Greek side PAOK Salonika and Indian club Kerala Blasters before hanging up his boots in 2018.

Punditry work and legends appearance

Working on Sky Sports isn't Berbatov's first experience as a pundit. Since retiring, he's worked as an expert for several different brands, including bookmakers Betfair.

The former silky forward most recently took to the pitch for United's legends in September, facing off against their Celtic counterparts.

Net worth

Pinning down Berbatov's exact net worth can be tricky. However, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the ex-footballer has amassed around £14.8million ($19.5million) from his various endeavours in the sport.

X-rated Spurs exit

Before leaving Tottenham and moving to Old Trafford, it seemed almost certain that United would lose out on the forward. Manchester City were leading the race to seal the deal.

But in an interview with The Telegraph, Berbatov revealed he was easily swayed to join Sir Alex Ferguson's side. "They wanted to sign me on the last day of the market," he said.

"I told my agent; 'f*** off, we're going to United. Because of their history, the prestige, the players, their manager and the shirt, I never had any doubt that Old Trafford was the right decision."
