Former Arsenal and Juventus striker Nicklas Bendtner has announced his retirement.

The Dane came off contract at FC Copenhagen last year.

The 33 year-old said: “I miss it every day, but I'm also aware that this job has an end date. I think I'll spend a lot of time figuring out that it's really over now.

"Now I'm going to find something else that gives me what football has given me all these years.

"This is why I am in the process of training as a coach. I hope this will bring me as much, if not more, than as a player."
