Ex-Colombia captain Mario Yepes retires from football




Former Colombia team captain Mario Alberto Yepes officially announced his retirement on Wednesday, putting an end to a career of more than 20 years and nine clubs.

"I would like to thank all the people who have supported me as a player and now I will look on the horizon for opportunities that may arise," Yepes said during a news conference in Cali.

Yepes saw action with Cali, River, Nantes, PSG, Chievo, Milan, Atalanta and San Lorenzo as well as being capped 102 times with the national team.

Despite currently being under contract for San Lorenzo in Colombia, Yepes said that turning 40 this past Jan. 13 was one factor in his decision.

Yepes had several offers from other clubs in Colombia and beyond, but reports in Colombia say the retirement was accelerated due to an offer to return to the national team -- this time as an assistant to manager Jose Pekerman.

【now.com體育】一代哥倫比亞後衛耶比斯宣佈，在40歲之齡掛靴。記者會上，他眼泛淚光，盡顯不捨之情。

先後效力河床、巴黎聖日耳門及AC米蘭等著名球會的耶比斯（Mario Yepes）周三宣佈掛靴，他透過哥倫比亞足總為他召開發佈會。耶比斯記者會上眼濕濕地表示：「102場國際賽，6個入球及夢幻般的世界盃，如此退出球壇甚好。」

40歲的耶比斯去年11月加盟聖羅倫素，而他是史上第3個代表哥倫比亞出賽逾100次的球員；前年在2014世界盃分組賽對科特迪瓦時成為百夫長，而該屆賽事，表現出色的哥倫比亞在8強被東道主巴西以2:1踢出局。

耶比斯足球職業生涯的高峰，可說是2001年協助主辦國哥倫比亞贏得美洲國家盃。
