Danish football player Simon Kjer has announced the end of his career.
Kjer (35) told Danish television TV2 that, after leaving Milan at the end of last season, he had offers from clubs playing in the Champions League, but that he made the decision to say goodbye to football.
When his national team-mate Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch due to cardiac arrest during the 2021 European Championship, Kjer was among the first to run to his aid and organized the rest of Denmark's national team to block his view.
Kjer and the entire Danish national team later received FIFA's fair play award for their actions that day.
In addition to Milan, where he was a member for four and a half seasons, the experienced defender played for eight other clubs, including Sevilla, Fenerbahçe and Lille.
Because he played 132 games for the national team, eight less than Eriksen, who holds the record.
