Thirty-one-year-old footballer Samuel Umtiti, a world champion with the French national team in 2018, announced on Monday, September 15, that he was retiring from the sport. He's left with a well-stocked trophy cabinet.

A page is turning. Defender Samuel Umtiti, a product of Olympique Lyonnais and former French international , has been without a club since leaving Lille last summer. He announced the end of his career on Instagram on Monday at the age of 31.
