Berlin –
Still remember Andre Schuerrle? The winner of the 2014 World Cup with Germany and the former Chelsea player decided to hang up his shoes at a young age, 29 years.
Earlier this week, Schuerrle was released from Borussia Dortmund just a year earlier than the end of his contract. He only made 33 appearances in the Bundesliga for two seasons before being loaned out to Fulham and Spartak Moscow.
On Friday (7/17/2020), Schuerrle announced his retirement through his Instagram account @andreschuerrle. Schuerrle’s decision to retire was no longer motivated to play football, which was revealed in a recent interview with Der Spiegel.
“I want you to know that I no longer play professional football !!” Schuerrle wrote Omnisport. “On behalf of myself and my family I want to thank all those who are part of these phenomenal years!”
“The support and love you share with me is truly extraordinary and more than I ever asked for! Now I am ready and open all the wonderful possibilities that may come to me.”
