Mickael Landreau announces retirement after coming season

Bastia goalkeeper Mickael Landreau has announced that he will retire from football at the end of the 2013-14 season.

The former Nantes, Paris Saint-Germain and Lille goalkeeper has targeted Jean-Luc Ettori's record of 602 Ligue 1 matches, having already played 587.

"I've decided to retire at the end of what will now be a very, very important season for me," he told Ligue1.com.

"If everything goes according to plan, I will break the record during another fairly special match: the Corsican derby against Ajaccio in Week 16 in December."

Landreau's last game for Bastia would be against the team he faced on his debut, Nantes.
