- Story Text:Germany and AS Roma centre back Mats Hummels will retire at the end of the season, the 2014 World Cup winner said on Friday (April 4), bringing the curtain down on a near two-decade career.
A product of the Bayern Munich academy, Hummels, 36, made a switch to arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in 2008. Having gone on to have a second spell at both the clubs, he joined Roma last year, making 18 appearances for the Serie A club.
Capped 78 times for Germany, Hummels lifted the World Cup in Brazil. He has won five Bundesliga titles as well as three German Cups and six German Super Cups.
He went close to winning the Champions League twice with Dortmund as they finished runners-up in the 2012-13 and 2023-24 seasons.
Hummels' contract at Roma expires in the close season.
