Argentina great Carlos Tevez has called time on a superb playing career that saw him represent both Manchester clubs and controversially switch from Manchester United to Manchester City in 2009.
Despite having offers to continue - namely from the MLS - the 38-year-old has hung up his boots as well as citing the heart-breaking reason for that decision. Tevez admits he's struggled for footballing motivation after the death of his adopted father, Segundo Raimundo, in February.
Tevez has been without a club since leaving beloved hometown side Boca Juniors last season and leaves a mixed legacy in Manchester. He first touched down in the Premier League with West Ham in 2006.

One year later, the Argentine - who scored 13 goals in 76 outings for his country - signed for United under Sir Alex Ferguson and played a major part in back-to-back title wins alongside Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. They also scooped Champions League success during the 2007/2008 campaign.
However, there was drama and controversy to follow as Tevez swapped red for blue after two seasons and went on to make 148 appearances for City; scoring 73 goals in all competitions and forming part of the squad that won a first ever Premier League title for the club in 2012.
Tevez also represented Juventus, Shanghai Shenhua and Corinthians at various stages of his career.
In a statement, Tevez said: "I have retired, it's confirmed. They offered me many things, including from the United States, but that's it, I have given everything. Playing in the last year was very difficult, but I was able to see my old man. I stopped playing because I lost my number one fan."
