The 34-year-old played in all three of his country's games at Euro 2016 this summer, taking his final tally of caps up to a record 121.

The Arsenal shot-stopper made his debut for his country in 2002 and went on to play at five major tournaments, including one World Cup.

Cech will now focus on his club commitments at Arsenal, who begin their season at home to Liverpool.
