Former Ghana and Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 38.
Confirming it in an interview with Sky Sports on Monday, the Ghanaian legend said“I just did a few months with the local side. My son wanted me to play. I didn’t play for almost three years, then my son decided to ask me to go and play. I did that, but now I’m done!.”
Muntari won the UEFA champions league title with Inter Milan and the FA cup trophy with Portsmouth. He also played for Udinise, Sunderland, AC Milan and Hearts of Oak.
