Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard has revealed he made the decision to retire for a simple reason.

The ex-Belgian winger called time on his career this summer, despite only being 32.

Hazard, who won the Premier League on several occasions, suffered years of injury problems at Real Madrid before his contract was finally canceled at the end of last season.

“I had always said that I would stop as soon as I didn't have fun on the pitch anymore. I didn't want to go and play somewhere for the money," he told L'Avenir.

“It was the best solution. I didn't enjoy training anymore... And I wasn't playing anymore. The decision was simple.

“In life, you can't explain everything. I am at peace with myself. I'm happy. I have so many things to do outside of football that I was able to make a serene choice."
