The end at 32
German former team player ends his career
Marvin Plattenhardt says goodbye. The former Germany international has announced the end of his career. The left-back last played for Hertha Berlin, but has been without a club for around a year.
"Now the point has come where I say: 'Done! I'm hanging up my boots. There were a few talks with clubs in various countries between summer 2023 and the end of January 2024, but the overall package wasn't right for me in terms of my family and company," Plattenhardt told the German newspaper "Bild", explaining the reasons for this move.
Attending the World Cup
The defender made his professional debut for Nuremberg in 2011 and moved to Hertha Berlin in 2014. Plattenhardt also made seven international appearances and was even in Jogi Löw's squad for the 2018 World Cup.
However, professional soccer is now over. "When you've been out for a while, it gets harder and harder these days. It's crazy when you see how many names, including top-class players, are still on the list of players without a club. I didn't want to continue by hook or by crook. So now I've made this decision for myself and I'm absolutely fine with it," said Plattenhardt, who now wants to concentrate fully on his business (milk alternative made from pistachios) and his family.
