Web Desk for India Today Franck Ribery, a former forward for France and Bayern Munich, announced his retirement from the game on social media at the age of 39.
“The ball stops. The feelings inside me do not,” 39-year-old Ribery wrote on social media in English, French, Italian and German.
“Thanks to everyone for this great adventure.
Ribery and Arjen Robben had a fantastic wing partnership at Munich until both players departed the team in 2019. They terrorised defences from either flank.
Since Salernitana’s opening-day loss to Roma, Ribery hasn’t played for the club, which he joined in 2021. His retirement has been rumoured for some weeks.
Salernitana announced earlier this month that they were in talks with the Frenchman regarding a post at the club. Now that Ribery has made the decision to put up his boots, he may take on a managerial role there.
Ribery, who finished second in the 2006 World Cup with France, achieved his greatest success at Bayern Munich, where he spent 12 seasons and won nine league titles as well as the 2013 Champions League.
With “mutual consent,” Salernitana said that the 39-year-contract old’s had been terminated.
When Salernitana pulled off a miraculous escape act on the final day of the season, they congratulated him “for the passion, devotion and commitment he brought to his profession, for wearing the captain’s armband with great respect.”
Salernitana said that Ribery would take on a non-playing position now that he has opted to put up his boots.
The club had previously said that they were in discussions with the Frenchman over a role.
Before their 2-1 victory over Verona, owner Danilo Iervolino promised that “we would give him a part, whatever he wants, in the timeline and method that he wants.”
“Off the field as much as on it, Franck excels. He has a lot of charm. He is able to speak with young people and draw in talent. He is a leader and brings the best out of everyone “Iervolino added.
I envision him working with me in a management capacity, but it’s okay if he wants to take on a more coaching-focused position.
