Iker Casillas has begun another new era in his career by creating a new agency for representing footballers.

The Spanish legend, who joined Porto after

, has collaborated with his current agent, Carlo Cutropía, to start Casillas World.

With its base in Pozuelo de Alarcón, an upmarket Madrid suburb, the company defines its services as "the representation, advice and intermediation in the contracting of professionals."

Casillas' decision follows in a recent trend for Spanish players to move into agency at the end of their careers.

Playmaker Ivan de la Peña has moved into representation work, while Carles Puyol and Dani Alves have both signalled their intention to do the same.

Sources close to Brazilian full-back Alves speak of how the Barcelona man has his eye on an "all-in-one" elite sponsorship and representation agency, inspired by Jay-Z's Roc Nation enterprise.
