Didier Drogba recently signed a contract to continue his club career with Chelsea, but his days of playing at the international level are over.
The striker announced he's stepping away from that side of the sport after more than 100 appearances for the Ivory Coast.
He released a statement on Twitter confirming the decision:
Assuming there are no comebacks on the horizon, and at age 36 it's unlikely, he will finish his international career with 65 goals across 104 matches. That's more than double the scoring output of any other player in the national team's history.
The Elephants had never qualified for the World Cup before his arrival in 2002. They did do for the first time in 2006 and proceeded to reach the next two editions of the marquee FIFA showcase as well, including this year's tournament.
