the Niger national team, despite being only 26
years old, due to constant problems that he has
experienced in the side.
The talented attacking player, who represents
Chinese side Changchun Yatai at club level, has
come to the decision to hang up his boots due to
a lack of proper organisation from the local
football association.
The former CSKA Moscow player mentioned that
he previously spoke to the authorities in Niger
about his pending decision to leave the Mena, but
with no change to the way things were being done
since his discussion, he has announced his
retirement.
"I have spoken to the chairman several months
ago, to tell him that I wanted to quit. He asked me
to stay, but now I prefer to say stop," Maazou
said, according to StarAfrica.
"There have been no improvements as regards
the organisation. Logistics are non-existent. Each
player is out on his own. Problems are piling up,"
he added.
Maazou began his journey with the Niger national
team in 2008, and in 33 matches he has scored 7
goals, contributing a great deal to the growth of
the side in Africa, and helping them to qualify for
their first Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2012.
