Fabricio Coloccini hangs up his football boots, the Argentine himself officially announced. The 39-year-old center-back is ending a brilliant professional football career, representing teams such as "AC Milan," Deportivo "La Coruna," "Boca Juniors," Madrid "Atletico," "Villarreal," and "Newcastle United." Coloccini's time at "Newcastle United" is particularly memorable. The Argentine represented the "Magpies" for 8 years, moving to the club for 10.3 million pounds sterling in 2008, a hefty sum back then. The 2011-12 season with "Newcastle" was special for F. Coloccini as the club finished in 5th place in the league table, and the center-back was selected for the symbolic team of the season. Coloccini spent the last 5 years in Argentina, representing the teams "San Lorenzo" and "Aldosivi."
