MEXICO CITY: Mexico World Cup defender Carlos Salcido announced his international retirement on Friday and pulled out of coach Miguel Herrera’s squad for next month’s friendlies.
The 34-year-old former PSV Eindhoven and Fulham player, who represented his country at the last three World Cups, made his final Mexico appearance in the 2-1 loss to the Netherlands in the last 16 on June 29 at the Brazil finals. “I know I won’t get to another World Cup,” said Salcido, who won 122 caps and scored 10 goals for Mexico.
