FRANCE star Bacary Sagna is set to announce his retirement from international football after the Euro 2016 final tonight.
The Manchester City defender, 33, has been in excellent form throughout the tournament but sees tonight as a “fitting end”.
The ex-Arsenal full-back wants to quit international football so he can focus on retaining his place under new City boss Pep Guardiola.
A Source said: “Bacary has been thinking about this for a while. He thinks it is a fitting end and wants to fight for his place under Pep.”
