Luka Modric has proven once again that age is just a number after the midfield maestro confirmed his intention to continue playing for both AC Milan and the Croatian national team. As he celebrates his 41st birthday, the veteran remains a pivotal figure for club and country, defying expectations of a post-World Cup retirement.
Former Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic has completed a swift return to international management by taking charge of the United Arab Emirates national team. The 59-year-old coach has signed on to lead the Gulf state into a new era, just a month after he ended his nine-year tenure with Croatia following their World Cup exit.
Luka Modric is preparing to sign a new one-year contract extension with AC Milan and will officially retire from international duty with Croatia this October. The midfielder wants to dedicate his final season entirely to the Italian giants, aiming for a successful swansong after missing out on Champions League football and suffering World Cup heartbreak.
