Baichung Bhutia chose to make a graceful exit from football on an emotional note, saying that he had “no regrets” about anything to do with the game.
Announcing his retirement from international football, Bhutia said here on Wednesday that he would continue to play for his club (Sikkim United) and share his experience with youngsters . Having scored 42 goals in 107 international appearances spread over 16 years, Bhutia enjoyed respect and admiration of his colleagues and fans.
The decision to retire was prompted by constant injuries in the past year. He was picked for the upcoming tour of England, but a calf-muscle injury has grounded him.
Looking ahead, Bhutia noted: “Indian football is moving in the right direction and needs support from all quarters. (Sunil) Chettri and Jeje (Lalpekhlua) are very good. But we need many more like them, some superstars.”
