After football

edit

After his football career, Col was the manager of a real estate company in the Île-de-France region.[3] He opted not to become a professional football manager like many other former players because he wished to lead a stable life in order for his children to succeed; he described coaching professional teams as a "mobile" occupation. Col henceforth settled in Rueil-Malmaison.[4]
