The 33-year-old, who recently signed for Premier League Everton, scored 56 goals in 118 appearances after making his debut as a 15-year-old in 1997. “I wish to inform you that I hereby put a definitive end to my international career,” Eto’o said in a statement on his Facebook page.
“On this occasion, I wish to thank all Africans in particular and all my fans around the world for their love and unconditional support.
Find here the expression of my deep gratitude.” Eto’o played at four World Cups, won two African Cup of Nations, in 2000 and 2002, and was part of the team that were crowned Olympic champions in 2000.
Also,after signing a two-year contract at Everton, Eto’o has thanked his former manager, Jose Mourinho. Eto’o is quoted by soccerway.com saying that facing his former club will be no problem for him. -
The only thing I have to say about Jose Mourinho is to thank him. It’s down to him that I had the opportunity to be accepted and integrated into the Premier League and I want to thank him for that. -I’m not particularly concerned that it’s against my old team on Saturday. -
The important thing is to integrate into my new team-mates’ way of playing and get ready for that match. If I don’t feature it’s just important to get ready, he said.
