The former Bundesliga player Guido Burgstaller ends his career as a soccer professional after the end of the season.

The decision of the Austrian ex-national player, who had celebrated his comeback after a skull base broken about a month ago in the Conference League, announced his club Rapid Vienna on Tuesday.

Burgstaller honestly: “The most difficult decision”

“To stop now is the most difficult decision of my entire football life,” said Burgstaller in the club announcement.

“If someone had told me that I would make this decision as a 36-year-old player of the SK Rapid, I would not have thought this trip possible.”
