goalscoring exploits at domestic and international level.
Former France and Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse announced his
retirement from professional football on Monday.
Cisse, 34, was in the headlines last week, denying allegations he
was involved in a plot to blackmail former team-mate Mathieu
Valbuena over sex tape footage.
He has been without a full-time club since the end of last
season, when he left Ligue 1 outfit Bastia.
Cisse said on Monday he could no longer handle the demands
of professional football.
"The body says stop, now it's over," he told Canal+.
"I can't practice high-level football."
Cisse's professional career started at Auxerre in 1998 and his
goalscoring exploits led to a Liverpool move in 2004.
After his departure from Anfield, he spent time at numerous
clubs – including Marseille, Sunderland, Panathinaikos and
QPR.
Cisse represented France 41 times, scoring nine goals.
