David Beckham to retire from football after turning down new PSG deal

David Beckham is to retire from football after two decades at the top of the game. Beckham was initially thought to be contemplating a further year's contract at Paris Saint-Germain, where he has just won a league title in a fourth country following spells at Manchester United, Real Madrid and the LA Galaxy in MLS.
However, the PSG coach who brought him to the club, Carlo Ancelotti, is likely to depart for Real Madrid as José Mourinho's replacement and at 38, Beckham has concluded that another year of intense competition might be a step too far.
"I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level," he said.
On the international stage, Beckham holds the England record for making 115 appearances as an outfield player for the national team.
He is expected now to return to London with his wife Victoria and children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper. His fortune is said to be worth around £165m and there have previously been suggestions that he would like to invest in an MLS club and pursue his coaching schemes for schoolchildren.
After making his debut in 1992, Beckham won six titles with United, scoring 62 goals in 265 Premiership matches. He was a member in the historic treble team, adding the Champions League and two FA Cups to his list of honours.
