Dider Drogba a.k.a Drogbazooka has decided to hang his boot following a disappointing exit by the Ivory Coast national team at the just concluded World Cup in Brazil last month. Drogba has decided to focus solely on his club career after returning to Chelsea from Galatasary in this summer's transfer window.
The Cote d'Ivoire icon Didier Drogba has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 36 scoring 65 goals in 104 appearances for the Elephants.
"It is with much sadness that I have decided to retire from international football," Drogba wrote in a statement released on Friday.
"These past 12 years in the national team have been full of emotions. From my first call-up to my last match, I have always tried to give my best for my country.
"I am very proud to have been captain of this team for eight years and to have contributed to placing my country on the world stage of football, taking part in three World Cups and two African Cup of Nations finals.
"I cannot convey enough thanks to the fans for all the love and support during these years. All my goals, all my caps, all our victories are for you - I love you." Culled from Goal.com
