Former France winger Franck Ribery has commented on his decision to end his professional career.
“Despite the fact that over the past three months I have tried to fight, the pain in my knee has only intensified. The doctors made it clear: I have no other choice but to stop playing. Therefore, I am obliged to end my career as a professional football player.
This is the end of a fantastic chapter in my life, but also an opportunity to thank all those without whom I would not be where I am today: my family and everyone who made this all possible.
This is the end of the player section, but not my professional history, you can be sure of that, ”Ribery said.
This season, 39-year-old Frank played for Salernitana. He must continue to work at the club.
