Former Arsenal, Juventus and Wolfsburg forward Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed his retirement from playing at the age of 33.
He said: 'I miss it every day, but I am also aware that there is an end date in this job. I think I'll spend a lot of time understanding that it's really over now. Now I will find something else that gives me what football has given me in all the years
'Football is a big part of my life and I can not leave it. That is why I am in the process of taking the coaching education. I hope it will give me as much or maybe more than it did as a player.
'That way, I will always be a part of football.'
