Former Captain of Nigeria’s Super Eagles John Mikel Obi has officially announced his retirement from football.
Obi announced his retirement on Tuesday on his Instagram
account.
He won the Champions League trophy in 2012 with Chelsea
among other trophies and recently played for Kuwait SC.
“There is a saying that ‘all good things must come to an
end’, and for my professional football career, that day is today,” the post
reads.
“I look back at the past 20 years of my career, and I must
say that I am very satisfied with all that I was able to achieve and more
importantly the human it has helped shape.
“All of this would not have been possible without the
unwavering support of my family, managers, clubs, coaches, team-mates and most
importantly my ever-loyal fans. You supported me through my highs and lows,
even on days that I did not live up to your expectations. I say a big thank
you.
“I will also like to encourage everyone who I may have
inspired one way or the other in the course of my career to never give up on
their dreams, for every time you think about quitting, remind yourself why you
started.
“This is not goodbye, it’s the start of another journey,
another chapter of my life. I look forward to what the future holds and I hope
you will walk with me. Thank you.”
