Manuel Neuer confirms he will retire from Germany duty again after 2026 World Cup as he bids to sign off with second global crown
Goal | 19.06.2026 04:08
Speaking at a press conference, Neuer explained the reasoning behind his initial departure. "I stepped back in 2024 with a good reason after a good home Euro. For me it was the right decision. It felt right," he told reporters. "It would have been too much of a sporting burden for me (to have kept playing for the national team) for the last two years."
