Kevin Kampl is ending his career as a professional footballer. The midfielder from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig announced the decision as part of his farewell from the Saxons in the 5-1 defeat to FC Bayern Munich on Saturday evening.
"It's clear to me: that's it for me in soccer in general. I won't be continuing. I'll go home to my family first, that's the most important thing," said the 35-year-old on Sky. He had previously said goodbye to the fans in tears. "I can't imagine starting anywhere else again either. I'll try to stay in soccer and do something else."
