September 11th, the 40-year-old former French goalkeeper Mandanda has decided to retire.

Mandanda has become a free agent since his contract with Rennes expired in July, and the 40-year-old Mandanda decided to end his career.

Mandanda said: "I need to take time to accept it (retirement), because it's not easy, but yes, I stopped. I went through a long period of thinking because I received a lot of calls (from Le Havre, Lorient, Guern, Brest, Montpellier), but I refused every time."

Mandanda has played for teams such as Marseille, Rennes, and Crystal Palace, among which he has played for the French team for 35 games and has won the World Cup, UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1 Champions League, and French League Cup Champions League.
