Former Chivas and Mexico National Team center forward, José Juan Macías, has reportedly decided to retire from soccer at just 25-years-old, following constant injuries that have tormented him in recent years.
Santos Laguna released a statement informing the club decided to terminate Macías's contract. Soon after, Fox Sports reported that the striker's exit from Santos wasn't just the end of his tenure with the team, but also the end of his professional career.
Reporters Sergio Treviño and Carlos Rodrigo Hernández confirmed the drastic decision taken by Macías. The decision to retire was taken because the Chivas academy graduate is "mentally and physically exhausted of dealing with so many injuries," which have seen him spent more time rehabbing than on the actual pitch in recent years.
