VIENNA: Austria captain Christian Fuchs announced his retirement from international football at the age of 30 on Wednesday, one week after the team’s group-stage elimination at Euro 2016. Fuchs, who made his debut in a 4-1 defeat by Croatia 10 years ago, made 78 appearances, scoring a single goal against Greece in 2010. “The match against Iceland was my last game for the Austria national team. I am very proud of my years in the red-white-red and wish the team the best for the World Cup qualifiers,” said the Austria left back in a video posted on Facebook.
