Has Jozy Altidore retired? Ex-USMNT star gives update on his future following New England Revolution release

The former New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC frontman made just five starts and scored two goals during his time with the Revs, with his contract being bought out in June after 18 forgettable months that included a half-season loan at Liga MX side Puebla in 2022.

Altidore will turn 34 on November 6 and accepts that any move from here will have to tick several important boxes for him. He does not want to hang up his boots, but he will not be accepting the first offer that comes along either.

Asked about his situation on the CBS ‘Kickin’ It’ show, Altidore said: “I’m a free agent right now, so I’m in a bit of an unknown area. I haven’t been like this before. So I don’t know, we’ll see.”

Pressed on whether he has a preference regarding his next challenge, Altidore added: “Not really. I just think it has to make sense for me at this point in my life. A lot goes into it now, moving my family over. Before it was just me, pick up and go. So contemplating those things and making sure that hopefully I can find something that’s the right fit.”

Altidore sits third on the United States’ all-time top goalscorer chart, with the experienced striker finding the target on 42 occasions through 115 appearances for his country.
