Luis Figo has ended his illustrious career following Inter’s fourth consecutive Serie A title.

The 36-year-old Portuguese was persuaded to play for one more season by Inter boss Jose Mourinho following reports of a bust-up with former Nerazzurri boss Roberto Mancini.

The Special One does not usually make the wrong call, and his subtle persuation proved founded with Inter winning the title following Milan’s 2-1 defeat at Udinese on Saturday.

The 2001 Fifa World Player of the Year hangs his boots up following a 20-year career which includes Champions League glory with Real Madrid following his controversial move from Barcelona.

“This is the first time I am champion without playing,” Figo told A Bola.

“I will not play again at the highest level. And I will will most likely not accept any offer. Only if something special emerges and it is from outside Europe. But it is not likely.”
A fantastic career comes to an end.

He has won 9 league titles in total.

Re: Figo announces retirement

What a legend, its a shame he will retire the same day as Maldini so it may not get as much attention.

Re: Figo announces retirement

Maldini will earn more attention; at least in Italy. Nedved also retires that day too.

Re: Figo announces retirement

I haven't seen that much of him in the past couple of seasons, but he had a fantastic career.

Re: Figo announces retirement

Figo is definitely a bigger legend than Nedved and I think would rival Maldini, but hey, Maldini is actually Itallian.

Re: Figo announces retirement

Great player, as is Nedved. Obviously Maldini will get more attention and rightly so. He's played since what? 87?

Nedved and Figo are two of the modern greats though. I always thought it was a shame that Nedved never won anything major.
