Eden Hazard, 32, is retiring after a 16-year career marked by great success at club level and unfulfilled promise with the Belgium national team.
Hazard won two Premier League titles, two Europe League titles, the FA Cup and the League Cup with Chelsea from 2012 to 2019Eden Hazard is putting an end to a 16-year injury-hit career marked by great success at club level and unfulfilled promise with the Belgium national team's “Golden Generation.”
The widely admired player had already retired from international soccer after his country’s aging generation of players was eliminated from the World Cup in the group stage last year.“You must listen to yourself and say stop at the right time,” said Hazard, who had been without a club since his contract with Real Madrid expired in June. “I was able to realize my dream. I have played and had fun on many pitches around the world.
After starting his professional career with French club Lille, where he won the league and cup double, Hazard moved to Stamford Bridge in 2012. He spent seven seasons with Chelsea, becoming a fans' favorite with his 110 goals in 352 games. “During my career I was lucky to meet great managers, coaches and teammates — thank you to everyone for these great times, I will miss you all,” Hazard said. “I also want to thank the clubs I have played for: LOSC, Chelsea and Real Madrid; and thank the RBFA for my Belgian selection."
