Gallas calls it a day
LONDON. — Former Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham defender William Gallas has announced his retirement from football at the age of 37. Gallas, who won two English Premier League titles with the Blues in 2005 and 2006, is hanging up his boots on the expiry of his one-year deal with Australian A-League club Perth Glory.
He moved Down Under in October 2013, a few months after being released by Spurs.
Speaking to the French TV programme Sport Confidentiel in an interview to be broadcast on Thursday night, Gallas said: “It is something that is not easy to announce.
“You tell yourself you can always continue, but I think that today I can’t.”
Gallas won 84 caps for France and was a member of their tournament squads for the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, and the European Championships in 2004 and 2008. — Sky Sports.
