REUTERSPIXdefender Diego Godin retired from football on Sunday following Velez Sarsfield's 1-0 loss to Huracan in the last Argentine league game of the season, bringing the curtain down on an illustrious 20-year playing career.
“I wanted to make the decision this way, being healthy, it may seem surprising, but I had been considering it for a while,“ the 37-year-old Godin told Argentine TV. Uruguay's Nacional considered signing Godin, a source close to the player told Reuters, but the centre-back made his final decision to step away from the pitch after his daughter's birth last month.
The defender then joined Atletico in 2010, where he made a name for himself as he captained the team during nine seasons.
