The 36-year-old centre-back has spent the second half of the season plying his trade for Malaga but has now called time on his illustrious career
Former Argentina, Bayern Munich and Manchester City centre-back Martin Demichelis has announced his retirement from professional football.
The 36-year-old re-joined Malaga for second spell after being released by Espanyol in January and has made 12 appearances in what will prove to be his final season in LaLiga.
Demichelis won 51 caps for Argentina, scoring twice, and announced his decision at a news conference on Monday.
"I want to be honest, I lost the strength in my legs and my concentration," he said.
