Former Manchester United midfielder Anderson has officially retired from professional football to take up a role behind the scenes at a club in Turkey.
The 31-year-old, who won the Golden Boy award in 2008, made 290 senior club appearances during his career and also featured nine times with Brazil.
Most recently spending time with Turkish second division side Adana Demirspor, Anderson will now take up an off-field position after retiring and also take a €400,000 pay cut.
"Anderson spent the camp period very well, but was not involved in squad planning. Anderson got a job, he went to work and decided to quit football," Adana president Murat Sancak told Radyospor.
