Former defender of Kyiv’s Dynamo and the Portuguese national team, 38-year-old Vitorino Antunes has announced that he is ending his professional career after his home and current club Ferreira retained its place in the Portuguese league 2 following the playoff matches.
— A certain stage is coming to an end. It is very likely that this is the end of my career as a player. Everything comes to an end, but I am confident that a new path will begin, and I will do everything possible to meet it. It has been a very tough year, difficult for everyone, but I believe the team has remained true to itself, united. We fought despite all the difficulties, many obstacles. We were not always as competitive as we would have liked, but the most important thing is that at a crucial moment the locker room came together and provided the necessary response. “Ferreira” is a professional level club, — said Antunes in an interview with local TV.
