Reasons behind Usain Bolt's decision to retire from football

Usain Bolt signals professional football dream is over: 'It was fun while it lasted'

Jamaica's sprint great Usain Bolt has retired from football after his negotiations for wages and a contract with Australian side Central Coast Mariners late last year did not materialise.

Bolt, who swapped athletics for football to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer, retired from athletics in 2017 with eight Olympic gold medals.
