Samuel Eto’o has announced his retirement from football after a trophy-laden 22-year playing career.

The Cameroonian legend, 38, began his career with Real Madrid and went on to play for 13 clubs including Barcelona, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Everton, and Sampdoria.

In a short message on Friday night (Sept. 6) the Cameroon legend regarded as one of the greatest African players of all-time announced that he has decided to call time on his career after leaving Qatar SC earlier this year.

He wrote on Instagram: “The End. Towards a new challenge. Thank you all, big love.”
