Nani has announced his retirement from football, ending a decorated career that saw him win 17 titles, including the UEFA Champions League with Manchester United and the UEFA European Championship with Portugal.
Nani calls it a day with a glittering career.
The ex-winger began at Sporting CP, where he would enjoy three separate spells.
Nani’s most successful period came during his eight-year stint with the Red Devils and under legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, with which he won four Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
He was also part of Portugal’s side, which won the UEFA Euro 2016 after a hard-fought win against France. He captained the side during the final victory over France after Cristiano Ronaldo’s early withdrawal due to injury caused by a crucial tackle from Dimitri Payet.
Nani made 112 international appearances between 2006 and 2017, making him the Selecao’s fifth most-capped player, while he represented them at five major tournaments.
His club career took him to seven different countries. He also played for Fenerbahce, Valencia, Lazio, Orlando City, and Melbourne Victory before finishing his career with a short stint at Primeira Liga side Estrela Amadora.
“The time has come to say goodbye, I have decided to finish my career as a professional player,” he posted on his social media channels.
“It’s been an amazing ride and I wanted to thank every single person who has helped me and supported me through the highs and lows during a career which lasted over 20 years and gave me so many unforgettable memories.
“Time to turn a new leaf and focus on new goals and dreams.”
