Franck Ribery: France forward retires from internationals

France forward Franck Ribery has announced his
retirement from international football.
The Bayern Munich attacker, 31, is a three-time
French player of the year.
"I want to focus on my family
and concentrate on my work at
Bayern Munich and make way in
the national team for the many
young and exciting players,"
Ribery told German magazine
Kicker.
Ribery missed the 2014 Fifa
World Cup in Brazil and ends his
France career with 16 goals from
81 caps.
He has been one of the star
performers in Europe in recent
seasons following a £20m move
from Marseille to Bayern in
2007, winning four Bundesliga
titles and one Champions
League with the German club.
Ribery came third in the voting
for Fifa's Ballon d'Or award for
the world's best player in 2013, finishing behind
Lionel Messi and winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
"One has to know when to stop," he added. "I have
experienced so much and now is the time for others
to come forward. You could see at the World Cup that
we should have no concerns about France's future.
"There were highs and lows but now is the time to
start a new chapter in my life."
The decision means Ribery will not feature at Euro
2016, which is to be held in France.
