Former Spain and Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina will retire from playing at the end of this season.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 42-year-old is currently at Italian club Como, who will play the final game of their campaign when they host Inter Milan in Serie A on Friday.<\/p>\n
Reina, who came through the Barcelona academy, was part of the Spain squad which won the 2010 World Cup and the European Championship in 2008 and 2012.<\/p>\n
He joined Liverpool from Villarreal in 2005 and won the FA Cup and League Cup with the Reds as he also claimed the Premier League Golden Glove award – given to the top-flight keeper with the most clean sheets – three seasons in a row from 2005-06.<\/p>\n
Reina made 394 appearances for Liverpool before leaving in 2014 and going on to have spells at Bayern Munich, Napoli, AC Milan, Aston Villa, Lazio, Villarreal and Como.<\/p>\n
He played the 1,000th competitive game of his career in 2023 when he turned out for Villarreal in 2023. <\/p>\n
“A very beautiful career is coming to an end, a very full life,” Reina told Movistar. “I feel very fortunate for what I’ve experienced.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t expect it, but I think the time has come and I feel like bringing it to a close here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
