Carlos Tevez officially retires from football aged 38

Carlos Tevez has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 38. The striker has not played since leaving his boyhood club Boca Juniors in June 2021, and has now made his decision to not continue playing anymore. 

His decision to retire was driven by the death of his father, who was his number one fan. Segundo Tevez died in February 2021 at the age of 58 due to COVID-19. He has revealed that he will be undergoing training to become a manager in the coming months, and will step into coaching full-time once he is ready.

“I stopped playing because I lost my number one fan,” he told America TV. 

“I have retired, it is confirmed. They offered me many things, including from the United States. But that’s it, I have given everything.

“Playing the last year was very difficult but I was able to see my old man.”

Carlos Tevez is one of the few players to have featured for both Manchester United and City. He also played for Juventus and West Ham United, and the Argentina national team during an illustrious 20-year career. During his seven-year stay in England, he scored 84 goals in 202 Premier League games. In 2004, he won Olympic gold with Argentina in Athens, going on to make 75 appearances for his country by 2015.
