LaLiga Santander Won Champions League under Benitez

At the age of 36, Josemi hangs up his boots to retire after a spell in India with Atletico Kolkata, part of the Atletico Madrid franchise.

Josemi played for 15 seasons in the professional game, amounting to 351 caps at the club level.

Perhaps the defender is best known for his time at Liverpool, especially as one of the first Spanish signings Rafa Benitez made to a team that would then famously go on to capture the Champions League, but Josemi was also respected for his stints at Malaga, Villarreal and Mallorca.

"It is time to say goodbye after all these years- eight clubs, 351 matches and a lot of memories," the right-back said in an open letter to fans. "Football has given me millions of experiences that I'll never forget."
