Jérôme Boateng Announces Retirement from Professional Football
Jérôme Boateng, the 2014 World Cup winner and former Bayern Munich defender, has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 37. Boateng made the announcement in an Instagram post on Friday evening, sharing a video clip highlighting his career's major stations.
Boateng's most successful period as a professional footballer was with Bayern Munich, where he played from 2012 to 2021. During his tenure, he won a total of nine league titles, five cup victories, and two Champions League titles. After terminating his contract with LASK in Austria, Boateng has decided to hang up his boots.
In his Instagram post, Boateng shared a video clip where he stated, 'I've played for a long time, for big clubs, for my country. I've learned, won, and lost. Football has given me a lot. Now it's time to move on. Not because I have to, but because I'm ready.'
Under his post, Boateng wrote in English: 'Family. Friends. Fans. It's time.' His retirement is not due to any external factors, but rather because he feels ready to move on.
After his retirement, Boateng plans to be active off the pitch. He recently completed a course and exam for the B-license as a football coach in Munich. However, there is no available information about who trained him as a football coach after his career ended.
