Nigeria's senior women team striker Stella Mbachu has announced her retirement from football. Mbachu, who was a member of the Namibia 2014 African Women Championship-winning Super Falcons, said she is calling time on her football career at club and country. The 38-year-old had first national team appearance and scored in the Super Falcons’ 2-0 win against Ghana in Abeokuta in the maiden African Women Championship in 1998. The Most Valuable Player at South Africa 2010 African Women Championship, who had 89 appearances and scored 20 goals for Nigeria, said she is fulfilled after winning lot of laurels for her country and club in her football career. The former Rivers Angels forward, who is the only remaining member of the Super Falcons that played at the 1999 Fifa Women's World Cup in the United States, also announced plans to venture into coaching as she felt the time is right to take a bow. "This is complete, I’ve completed everything about football both for national team and club football. I'm not playing anymore," Mbachu told Radio Nigeria. "If I’m selected today, I don't even think I will be selected because I have already made it open that I’m not going to be playing anymore," she confirmed. "I just want to rest and give the younger ones the chance. I know they will do it because they are already doing it," she explained. "I will embark on a coaching course. I hope to go into coaching now that I have retired from the game," she concluded. http://m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/5594081?ICID=HP_BN_2
