Lazio Legend Ciro Immobile Announces Retirement: “Don’t Be Sad for Me”
Iconic Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has decided to hang up his boots at the age of 36 following a brief spell at Paris FC.
Ciro Immobile Enjoyed an Elusive Career
With 350 goals to his name, the Neapolitan bomber cemented himself as one of the deadliest hitmen in his generation. The Salernitana and Juventus academy product represented a host of clubs in his illustrious career, including Torino, Borussia Dortmund, and Sevilla, but he only truly found his home at Lazio, spending eight unforgettable years at the club.
Immobile, A Lazio Legend Forever
Sensing the winds of change in the summer of 2024, Immobile opted to depart and embark on a new experience at Besiktas, leaving behind an everlasting legacy at the Stadio Olimpico. The Euro 2020 winner left Lazio as the club’s all-time goal-scorer with 207 goals in 344 appearances, having led the club to new heights in Claudio Lotito’s era.
Trophies & Personal Accolades
The legendary player lifted a Coppa Italia trophy and two Italian Super Cups during his time at Lazio, while adding three Capocannoniere awards, a European Golden Boot, and a Serie A Player of the Year Award in 2020, after equalling Gonzalo Higuaín’s 36-goal tally in a single season.
Immobile Bids Football Farewell
In January, Immobile ended a brief spell at Bologna to join the ambitious Paris FC. But just days before the start of the new season, he decided to succumb to Father Time, announcing his retirement from the sport in front of his teammates.
This is a difficult moment for me because it’s the end of a great journey, a part of my life. I love football with all my heart, but I want to be honest with myself about the current situation.
It’s not an easy decision. You’re a big family. I’m happy to be with you, to be part of this club, of the new coach (Liam Rosenior) and his staff; with everyone, really, but for me it’s time to be with my family, to spend more time with my family. They’ve followed me everywhere. I need it after 17 years.
If I don’t feel I can give my best, even if it’s hard, my decision is to end my career here. I wish you all the best. I’ll come back to Paris to watch your games because I love you all so much. Don’t be sad for me because I’m happy to be with my family and to start thinking about new projects for my future. Thank you all, guys!
