Martin Montoya said mental fatigue and the desire for a more stable family life contributed to his decision to stop playing during the summer. In an interview published by BongdaPlus, the former Barcelona defender discussed returning to the city after years of moving between clubs and living away from home.
He has not settled on a new job but would like to help children through an academy, club or football camp, rather than become a player agent. The comments are reflections after retirement, not an announcement that he retired on September 30.
