Nov 11 (Reuters) - Former Udinese and Fiorentina attacking midfielder Martin Jorgensen, who has played more Serie A matches than just about any Dane, has established he will retire when their agreement with AGF Aarhus runs out at the end of the year.
The ex-Denmark international became a fan favourite in Italy during a 13-year spell that saw him help Udinese finish third in 1998 and protected a Champions League berth for Fiorentina with an essential last-minute equaliser against Lecce in '09.
"we have actually accomplished what I dreamed of as a seven-year-old running around and playing football in Ryomgaard," the 39-year-old Jorgensen said in a declaration announcing his retirement on his club's website ().
"I have been fortunate and privileged to play at the highest level with and against many talented footballers."
He has played over 100 games since going back to Aarhus from Italy in 2010 aged 34 to shut out his job.
Capped 102 times, Jorgensen played at three World Cups and two European championships, scoring 12 goals like the opener against Brazil in a 3-2 quarter-final loss at the 1998 World Cup. (Reporting by Philip 'Connor; Editing by Ken Ferris)
