UKRAINIAN striker Andriy Shevchenko has quit football to begin a career in politics, he said in a statement from his club Dynamo Kiev late on Friday.
"Perhaps, I will shock everyone: my future has nothing to do with soccer," Shevchenko was quoted as saying in the statement. "...It is related to politics." The 35-year-old former AC Milan and Chelsea forward ended his international career when Ukraine failed to progress from the group stage at June's Euro 2012, which they co-hosted with Poland. Shevchenko did not say if he planned to join one of Ukraine's existing political parties or create his own ahead of October's parliamentary election.
