Legendary Netherlands Football Star, Wesley Sneijder Retires From International Football Legendary Dutch football star, Wesley Sneijder, the Netherlands' most-capped player, has retired from international football. The 33-year-old, (Born 9th June, 1984) who plays for Qatari side Al-Gharafa, made his debut in 2003 and went on to play 133 games. Midfielder Sneijder made the decision to retire after a discussion with Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman, who was appointed in February 2018. "I understand that Koeman wants a fresh start with younger players. I respect his decision," Sneijder said. Sneijder surpassed Edwin van der Sar as the Netherlands' most-capped player in June 2017 in his 131st appearance. He was part of the side that reached the World Cup final in 2010, where the Netherlands were beaten 1-0 by Spain in South Africa. The former Inter Milan midfielder last played for the Dutch in their 3-0 victory over Romania in November. According to Netherlands Coach; "Wesley is one of the best Dutch internationals in recent years, an amazing player with a great attitude," Koeman said. "But I want to build a new team and therefore have to make choices." A statement from the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) said they would discuss a possible coaching role with Sneijder once he had finished playing club football.
