Former Kerala Blasters striker Dimitar Berbatov retires from football
The striker took to social media to announce his decision.
The former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has called time on his career as he made the announcement on Instagram. The striker was without any club since leaving Indian Super League outfit Kerala Blasters in 2018.
The 38-year old had a lustrous career where he scored goals in Bulgaria, Germany, England, France, Greece and India. He is best known for his stints for the Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, where he netted a total of 102 goals in 251 appearances.
While confirming the decision, he wrote, "I will miss it! I will f****** miss it! Everything! The games, trainings, the goals, preparations, the presure, my teammates... the roar of the fans when i scored another banger. ????????"
The Bulgarian forward also revealed that he tried finding a club in the past year. He mentioned that he needed people to know that he is finally hanging his boots.
"On this special day today, / if you don't know why, check the story ????/ i decide to share this with you, which i was preparing to post a while ago, but didn't... I don't know why... I know some of you already thought that i retired, and now maybe you are like WTF Berbs we know that you don't play, but i did try to find something last year.. Didn't happened ????????????♂ So, someone told me i need to say something, and seeing that people where asking me, especially back home, i need to give a farewell message! So, here it is!"
The exit from his last club, Kerala Blasters, was a disaster of its own. While departing back to Bulgaria after the domestic season, he uploaded a story on Instagram using the hashtags #WorstWannaBeCoachEver and #WorstTacticalAdviceEver along with #SeasonFinished and #TimetoGoHome.
Dimitar Berbatov's social media antic did not go well with the Blasters' fans
As if this was not enough of a dig on the then Blasters coach David James, Berbatov added another long hashtag explaining the bad tactics saying:

He scored only one goal for his last club of his career.
