Netherlands’ Daley Blind announces international retirement
The HinduFormer Manchester United and Bayern Munich defender Daley Blind announced his retirement from international football on Wednesday after 108 caps for the Netherlands, making way for a “talented new generation.” The 34-year-old was part of the Dutch squad that reached the semifinals of the World Cup in 2014 and the quarterfinals in 2022, losing to Argentina both times. “A talented new generation is coming up and after a good chat with the national manager, it is time to fully focus on my club and my family,” Blind said in a message on X. Blind came through the Ajax youth system, eventually breaking through into the first team and won four straight Eredivisie titles with the Amsterdam-based giants of Dutch football. His stint at United brought success in the FA Cup and the Europa League but he went back to Ajax in 2018 for another spell that saw the club win three Eredivisie trophies.
