France's Hugo Lloris retires from international football - Adomonline.com

Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris, 36, is France’s most capped player ever with 145 appearances and also captained the team over 100 times.

His last appearance was the 2022 World Cup final when France were beaten on penalties by Argentina.

“There comes a time when you have to know how to pass the baton,” Lloris told L’Equipe.

“I don’t want to make it my own, I’ve always said and repeated that the France team doesn’t belong to anyone, and we all have to make sure that’s the case, me first.

AC Milan’s Mike Maignan is likely to replace Lloris as France’s No

Lloris made his France debut in November 2008.

His international career includes a World Cup win in 2018, leading the team on home soil at Euro 2016, when they reached the final, and winning the Nations League in 2021.
