France’s attacking winger Franck Ribery has retired from international football.
“I
want to focus on my family and concentrate on my work at Bayern Munich
and make way in the national team for the many young and exciting
players,” Ribery told German magazine Kicker.
Ribery missed the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil and ends his France career with 16 goals from 81 caps.
He
has been one of the star performers in Europe in recent seasons
following a £20m move from Marseille to Bayern in 2007, winning four
Bundesliga titles and one Champions League with the German club.
Ribery
came third in the voting for Fifa’s Ballon d’Or award for the world’s
best player in 2013, finishing behind Lionel Messi and winner Cristiano
Ronaldo.
