Sergio Ramos has confirmed his retirement from international football after a call from his country's new manager Luis de la Fuente.
The defender, 36 is Spain's most-capped player, and was part of World Cup and European Championships winning squads. Ramos, who plays his club football for Paris Saint-Germain, made the announcement on his social media channels.
"The time has come, the time to say goodbye to the National Team, our beloved and exciting Red," Ramos wrote. "This morning I received the call from the current coach who told me that he doesn't count and that he won't count on me, regardless of the level I can show or how I continue my sporting career."
