Inter treble winning hero Goran Pandev has announced that he will call time on his playing career after participating in next Summer’s European Championship.
Pandev started his senior career with FK Belasica in his native North Macedonia back in 2000 and joined Inter for the first time round in 2001.
Pandev did not have much luck when it came to playing time in his first spell with him spending two years out on loan at Spezia and Ancona respectively before moving on to Lazio in 2004.
After five years in the Italian capital, Pandev returned to Inter in 2009 in what proved to be one of, if not the greatest, seasons in the Nerazzurri club’s history.
That season Inter became the first club in Italian football history to win a treble consisting of the Serie A, Coppa Italia and Champions League and they remain the only club to have achieved this feat.
“In 2021 I will be 38, I really believe it will be the last season for me but first, I have some last dreams to fulfil,” Pandev remarked in an interview with Il Secolo XIX, which appeared in today’s print edition.
“I want to enjoy the European Championship and then stop playing. Then I’ll stay and live here, my children have decided. This is the club who I have played at for the longest, now I feel like I am from Genoa.”
