Hugo Lloris Retirement: France World Cup winning skipper & custodian Hugo Lloris announces retirement from international football, identifies successor in AC Milan’s Mike Maignan – Check Out

The Spurs and France goalkeeper, who set a record with 145 caps gained and 122 times as captain, retires following the agonising defeat to Argentina in the World Cup final in Qatar last year as France sought to defend their championship. From 2008 to 2022, Lloris represented his country at four World Cups and three European Championship competitions. Before his team fell short four years later, losing 4-2 on penalties to Lionel Messi’s Argentina in December, he led them to international success in Russia in 2018.

The French team’s official Twitter account posted a picture of a smiling Lloris with the caption: ‘A legend. Bravo and thank you for everything Hugo.’

He said: ‘There comes a time when you have to know how to hand over the reins. I have always said over and over again that the French team doesn’t belong to anyone, and we all have to make sure that’s the case, me first. I think that the team is ready to go on. There is also a goalkeeper who is ready (AC Milan’s Mike Maignan). I prefer to go out at my peak than wait for a downturn. There is also a family choice, I feel the need to spend more time with my wife and children.”

Along with the 2018 World Cup, Lloris also won the 2021 Nations League and guided France to the final of the 2016 European Championship. France head coach Didier Deschamps said Lloris was retiring at his peak and despite still having a place in the national set-up but called on fans to respect his decision.
