Default Retirement

Anyone know what age players retire? I suppose most of them will vary but is there any particular bracket for the different positions like strikers, midfielders etc?

Anyone playing as Barca and some way into the game, any idea what age Henry retired? And to the ones playing as Arsenal, what about Gilberto Silva? Henry is 32 now in my game and he's still going great guns. I'm sure he'll perform at the top of his game this year too but doubt if he'll be able to do it next season. And since I've too many quality young strikers, I cant afford to keep playing and ignoring them.

Also, how do I get the players to get interested in taking up coaching? Gilberto Silva has the "seriously thinking of taking up coaching" bit in his long-term plans but when I use the interaction option to say that I think he'll make a good coach he comes back with a "just want to concentrate on playing" response. Anyone care to explain how this works? Cheers!

In my game Henry retired at 33 and Silva at 35. Neither are coaches in my game. I think retirement is a bit random and as long as the team wants them I guess, I had signed Cambiasso at 28 and he retired at 30 on me.

It wasnt because of injuries was it?? Cambiasso might have retired because he got a serious injury? Or was it just out of the blue?? Thanx for the reply.

It's just random in all reality. It is in real life as well if you think about it.

From what I observed so far

GK: 38-42
DF: 36-38
MF: 34-37
FW: 33-37

it's all random but you can roughly estimate their peak age (of each position) + 5 years

I hope there's an option "encourage retirement" rather than "reconsider retirement" :p
