latan Ibrahimovic brought the curtain down on a long, trophy-packed career on Sunday when he unexpectedly announced his retirement from soccer.
Veteran striker Ibrahimovic revealed his decision to quit the game during an on-pitch ceremony following AC Milan's 3-1 win over Verona which ended its Serie A campaign.
"It's the moment to say goodbye to football, not just to you," said Ibrahimovic on the San Siro pitch.
"There are too many emotions for me right now. Forza Milan and goodbye."
The 41-year-old had been expected to simply bid farewell to Milan fans after his departure from the seven-time European champions was announced on Saturday.
He returned to Milan in late 2019 for a second spell after a previous two-year period in which he won the Serie A title in 2011.
"The first time I came here you gave me happiness, the second time you gave me love," said Ibrahimovic.
