The Chelsea goalkeeper, who won the Champions League with the Blues in 2021, made the decision after representing his country in the Euro 2020 tournament. Mendy, who joined Chelsea from Rennes in 2020, played a key role in the team’s 1-0 final victory over Manchester City. His departure marks a significant moment for Senegal, as he was a key figure under coach Patrick Vieira. The news comes as Vieira takes charge of the national team, adding another layer to the transition in Senegalese football. Mendy’s retirement ends a career that included major achievements on both club and international stages. His decision reflects a personal choice to step away from the sport after a decade of high-level competition.
