Mendy Discusses International Retirement
Eduard Mendy, the goalkeeper for Al-Ahly and the Senegal national team, revealed the reasons and behind-the-scenes details that led him to make the decision to retire internationally after 59 matches. He pointed out that Senegal's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations and his participation in the 2022 Qatar World Cup and the upcoming 2026 World Cup contributed to his feeling that the time was right to conclude his career with the national team. Despite attempts by the new coach, Patrick Vieira, to dissuade him through presenting the future project, Mendy preferred to stop, citing exhaustion and a lack of desire to start a new phase without energy. He expressed pride in bringing smiles to the faces of Senegalese fans and achieving remarkable results, most notably winning the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations. He also confirmed his nomination for the Yashin Award for the best goalkeeper in the world, considering this recognition as an acknowledgment of his efforts during the recent season, especially while playing in the Saudi league.
