Eden Hazard Retires from Football to Focus on Family: A Look at His Career and Future Plans

And now what will he do? Her retirement formalized, Eden Hazard (32 years old) will now devote the majority of her time to her family and her five children, who are her pride. We were already able to see it when he was in the spotlight at the King Baudouin stadium last June: the Brainois is a real daddy hen. He will now thrive mainly in this role.

Six offers refused this summer

It is also for family reasons that the former captain of the Devils refused the offers offered to him this summer. Vancouver (in MLS), Rangers and Crystal Palace approached him in particular, without an agreement being able to be found. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Brazil also made eye contact with him, without more success.

With a little hindsight, we could obviously expect the announcement of Eden Hazard’s retirement. His presence as a guest star at the announcement of Lavia’s transfer to Chelsea and especially that of Thorgan at Anderlecht were indicators. “I’m going to play two matches at the Union: against Anderlecht then against Kylian’s RWDM and then I’m stopping football,” he joked then.

In the documentary ‘Believe’ on the Devils’ qualifying journey for 2024, certain sentences spoken by Eden during the tribute paid to him in June also caught the eye. “Little by little, it’s time to enjoy life with my family and friends. And to drink a few beers,” he smiled with his own humor, which always conveys a grain of truth.

His son Leo (10 years old) still plays for Real

Initially, it is in Madrid – where he has lived since 2019 – that Hazard will continue to live. He will be able to calmly gain a few kilos without having all the Spanish press on his back. Why stay in Madrid? Because his wife Natacha likes it a lot, because his children go to school there and because his son Leo (10 years old) still plays with Real. But subsequently, a return to Belgium cannot be ruled out.

We should also quickly see Eden in the Pro League stadiums to come and encourage Thorgan at RSCA and Kylian at RWDM. We also imagine that he will quickly be invited by Lille and Chelsea to kick off and be honored as a legend of both clubs.

And after ? Eden Hazard should move away from the world of football. The coaching profession does not interest him. With his personality, we wouldn’t imagine him being an agent either. He will certainly still participate in certain charity meetings, such as the one taking place on October 18 in Calais with the Variétés Club de France, where his presence is announced. Then there are other sports that should punctuate Eden’s life: golf, dear to her friend Gareth Bale, and cycling. But on a whole different level.

Cycling and golf: two sports that the Brainois appreciates.
