Jon Gruden is no longer unemployed.

The former Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach found a new job in football but it’s not even in North America this time around.

The Milano Seaman of the European League of Football (ELF) announced Tuesday that Gruden is now serving as an advisor to the organization, with an aim of improving all aspects of the organization.
“We’re excited to announce that American football legend, Jon Gruden, will work with us as advisor,” the team said in a post on X. “Gruden won in 2002 Super Bowl with Tampa Bay. Gruden will help us to improve our organization in every aspect. He already started to work with our coaching staff.”

Gruden served as an advisor to the New Orleans Saints in 2023, which was three years since his disgraceful exit from the Las

Back in 2021, the Raiders were forced to fire him following a leaked email scandal that revealed homophobic and racist emails. Gruden sued the NFL in October 2021 accusing the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell of “directly leaking” racist and misogynistic emails in an attempt to harm Gruden’s reputation and force him out as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.

The emails had surfaced in the league’s investigation of then-Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder.

Gruden told ESPN that the league “thought they could cherry-pick emails from years ago, when I wasn’t even a coach, and try to end my career.”
