Former Manchester United winger, Nani, announced his retirement from professional football on Sunday.

The 38-year-old was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2007 from Sporting CP.

Nani left United to join Fenerbahçe on a permanent deal in 2015.

He eventually played for 10 clubs in total during his 19-year career.

At the start of 2024, Nani signed for Estrela Amadora.

“As everyone knows, everything comes to an end,” Nani said in a statement.


“I’ve taken the time to make a very important decision. Perhaps the most important decision of my professional life, which is the decision to stop playing as a professional player. I’m going to, as they say, hang up my boots. But I do so with a sense of duty fulfilled.

“I believe it was a beautiful career, a career filled with many achievements.”

Nani scored 130 goals in more than 620 career matches.

Football commentator Gürcan Bilgiç has told Ali Koç, the President of Fenerbahçe, that he made a huge mistake by continuing with manager José Mourinho at the club.


According to Bilgiç, it is not right for Fenerbahçe and Mourinho to continue together after the Portuguese failed to win the Turkish Süper Lig last season.

Recall that Mourinho’s side finished in second place on the Turkish Süper Lig table, behind champions Galatasaray.


However, Bilgiç believes Galatasaray will remain favourites to win the Turkish domestic title again in the 2025/26 campaign.

“Ali Koç made a huge mistake. It is not right for Fenerbahçe for Jose Mourinho to continue,” Bilgiç said (via habersarikirmizi).

“Galatasaray will be the favourite again next season. If Ali Koç does not spend a lot of money, Mourinho will continue to fail.


“Because the material at hand is still behind Galatasaray.”

Mourinho has previously coached top European clubs including Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Porto, Inter Milan, and Tottenham Hotspur

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe will not travel to Charlotte for the team’s Club World Cup match against Pachuca, a club source told AFP Saturday.

The French superstar was taken to hospital on Thursday for tests and treatment after suffering gastroenteritis, before later being released.

Mbappe is improving “bit by bit” said the club source, but he will not fly with his team-mates for Sunday’s match against Mexican side Pachuca.

The 26-year-old missed the opening game with the same illness as Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso’s debut as coach.

Madrid B-team player Gonzalo Garcia, 21, started in Mbappe’s stead and opened the scoring for Real Madrid against their Saudi Arabian opponents.

Mbappe finished as the European Golden Shoe winner in his first season at Real Madrid with 31 goals in La Liga and 43 across all competitions, but Los Blancos finished the season without a major trophy.
