France and Bayern Munich defender Willy Sagnol is set to retire after failing to recover from an Achilles’ tendon injury, Bayern team manager Uli Hoeness said on Monday. “I had a chat with Willy Sagnol this week and it is my understanding that he will end his career,” he told.
Sagnol had undergone surgery before the start of the season after an already injury-plagued previous year. He has been capped 58 times by France and he also won the German championship five times and the German Cup four times.
