End clap for Diego Lopez. Free since the end of his adventure with Rayo Vallecano and having been unable to afford a new challenge, the Spanish goalkeeper decided that it was time to bow out at the age of 42. Long considered as Iker Casillas’ understudy at Real Madrid, the former Spanish international (1 selection) also spent with Villarreal, will have spent most of his career on the other side of the Pyrenees despite a three-year adventure from alongside AC Milan between 2014 and 2017.
Wishing to enjoy his family more, the native of Paradela does not intend to draw a definitive line on the world of ball. In comments reported by Marcathe Iberian admitted that he was already thinking about retraining as a coach. “I didn’t play much at Rayo and it was time to say goodbye and do other things that I really wanted after so many years as a professional, like being with my family. The next few years will be important to see what my body asks of me and if a club is interested in me. Training deadlines must be respected because few new coaches have the opportunity to train a large team from the start.expressed the Galician during a conference organized by the media The Progress.
