You need to zoom in on this contract Dean Smith is signing (he’s a football manager but that’s not important) because it’s an absolute treat

In football news we didn’t expect to be bringing you today, former Aston Villa manager Dean Smith is the new boss of American Major League Soccer club Charlotte FC.

No, us neither.

And while we wouldn’t ordinarily bother you with this news, there was something about the photo released by the club of Smith signing his new deal which was really rather wonderful.

Might even be today’s best thing, in fact.

This picture in particular.

And in close-up! (full disclosure – you might still have to zoom in).

Very official head coach contact

Congratulations and welcome to Charlotte Football Club, Dean Smith

The contract team put together this very official document to confirm your swing and let the fans know you put pen to paper, officially. Official.

With this contact you agree to the following:
