Most recently in January with the Swiss handball national team in Egypt at the World Cup, Alen Milosevic announced his retirement from the national team.
The circle runner, who is under contract with SC DHfK Leipzig in the Bundesliga, has also announced that he will end his career after the 2021/22 season.
It is health problems that prompt the 31-year-old to take this step. Handball Switzerland writes in a message: «Milosevic recently suffered from various injuries that have thrown him back again and again. The Swiss Handball Association (SHV) thanks Alen Milosevic for his commitment. With his qualities he was recently an important pillar on the way back to the EHF EURO and the World Cup. He played a total of 60 international matches in the dress of the SHV selection. “
Milosevic himself explains: “I am grateful that I was allowed to play with the national team over the past few years. The participation in the two international tournaments were absolute highlights of my career and it feels very good that I was able to do my part. In the last year of my career I want to be more considerate of my health and give myself the necessary breaks. ” (red)
