'My journey as a player ends here,' 36-year-old says.
Former Real Madrid star Marcelo announced his retirement from football on Thursday.
"My journey as a player ends here but I still have so much to give to football. Thank you for everything," the 36-year-old said on his social media account.
The former Brazil international, who won five UEFA Champions League trophies, four FIFA Club World Cups and six Spanish LaLiga titles with Real Madrid, returned to his boyhood club Flamengo in Brazil in November 2024.
He helped Brazil bag the 2013 Confederations Cup with six goals in 58 appearances.
