42-year-old Chapecoense goalkeeper Nivaldo today announced his immediate retirement from football.
The veteran goalkeeper joined Chapecoense in 2006 and was due to play his farewell game against Atletico-MG on the final day of the Brasileirão championship.
“I was supposed to go on the trip but ended up staying,” said Nivaldo to Globoesporte. “Everything has a reason in life. I didn’t travel to Palmeiras (on Sunday), because it would make my farewell game to play here against Atletico-MG, when I would complete 300 games for the club.
