Pavel Nedved announces retirement from international football

Pavel Nedved has announced that he is retiring from international football. He will make his final appearance for the Czech Republic on Wednesday in a friendly against Serbia. Nedved, who will be 34 in a fortnight, said he would be unprepared for internationals given that his club Juventus is now in the Italian second division, adding that he wanted to spend more time with his family. He is only the second Czech ever to be named European player of the year.
