DAVID BECKHAM has decided to call time on his glittering career. Beckham, 38, helped Paris Saint-Germain lift the Ligue 1 for the first time in 19 years at the weekend.
And despite being offered a one-year contract extension by the French giants, the veteran midfielder will retire after Carlo Ancelotti�s men play their last game on May 26.
He said: �I�m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level.�
Becks began his career at Manchester United, scoring 85 goals in 394 games, before switching to La Liga side Real Madrid.
He left Spain for a money-spinning move to LA Galaxy in 2007 and also enjoyed loan spells with AC Milan during his time in Major League Soccer.
After his contract expired Stateside, the former England skipper was reunited with ex-Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti in the French capital.
And having relocated from LA in January, Becks is expected to set up a permanent base in London with his wife Victoria and three children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
