Djorkaeff calls it a day

 

French World Cup and European Championship winner Youri Djorkaeff is to retire from professional football at the end of the season.

 

The French striker will see out his contract with Red Bull New York (formerly The Metrostars) in America, before hanging up his boots.

 

The former Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers player was voted The MetroStars Most Valuable Player in his first Major League Soccer season last year.

 

But the 38-year-old has announced, on French television station Canal+, that he will finally call time on a glittering career.

 

He won the World Cup with Les Bleus in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000.
