Ex-Poland, Arsenal, Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny retires


Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has retired from professional football, the 34-year-old said on Tuesday, weeks after leaving Serie A club Juventus by mutual agreement.

Szczesny spent seven seasons at Juventus and had one year left on his contract. He had been linked with a move to fellow Italian side Monza and Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.

Szczesny started his career at Premier League club Arsenal. He won the Serie A title three times with Juventus as well as the Coppa Italia on three occasions, and also had spells at Brentford and Roma.

He played 84 times for Poland, including two of the three group games at Euro 2024.

“I left Warsaw, my hometown, in June of 2006 to join Arsenal with one dream — to make a living out of football,” Szczesny posted on Instagram. “Little did I know it would be a start of a journey of a lifetime.

“Everything that I have and everything that I am I owe to the beautiful game of football.”
