Carlos Tevez makes statement as former Manchester United and Man City star retires

Argentina great Carlos Tevez has called time on a superb playing career that saw him represent both Manchester clubs and controversially switch from Manchester United to Manchester City in 2009.

Despite having offers to continue - namely from the MLS - the 38-year-old has hung up his boots as well as citing the heart-breaking reason for that decision. Tevez admits he's struggled for footballing motivation after the death of his adopted father, Segundo Raimundo, in February.
