Inter Milan have announced the retirement of veteran defender Javier Zanetti just months after he claimed he wanted to sign a contract extension. Reports suggest Zanetti felt he was ready for a new challenge as becoming a manager as he had accomplished everything during his playing career.



Zanetti has had a career to boast about achieving mounts of success with Inter which include;


Serie A (5):
(2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10)
Coppa Italia (4): (2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10, 2010-11)
Supercoppa Italiana (4): (2005, 2006,2008, 2010)
UEFA Champions League (1): (2009-10)
UEFA Cup (1): (1997-98)
FIFA Club World Cup (1): (2010)

Zanetti is also Argentina's most capped player ever managing a total of 145 caps in which he scored 5 goals. One of his biggest regrets is not managing to win anything with his country during his playing days although he managed to play in 2 World Cups. He made a total of 848 appearances for Inter in all competitions grabbing 21 goals along the way.

Inter held a press conference earlier on today and here's what the man himself had to say: "Unfortunately, today is the day i have decided to hang up my boots and retire from football. I sustained a lengthy injury at the start of the season and that made me think am i really still cut out for this? I did consider extending my contract for an extra year but eventually i decided i was ready to retire and step into football management. It's a sad day for me to leave Inter because i have been here for many years and loved every second of it but i believe this is the right choice. Hopefully someday i can return to Inter and manage them and return them to former glory just like i achieved here. I have been doing the management course's over the past few months and i am very excited for my next challenge, i believe i have made the correct decision."

Can Zanetti replicate his playing abilities and successes in the dugout? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more information on the subject.
 

This is my manager profile i replicated Zanetti (dedication
;)) and i have decided to put his past experience as International Footballer because he was and it should make finding a job easier! I am starting unemployed and we'll see how it goes from there! This is my first story so any tips/criticism are welcome, hope you all enjoy.
