The 32-year-old failed to find another club after leaving Real Madrid.
Hazard won two Premier League titles at Stamford Bridge before moving to Real Madrid in 2019.
But the Belgian struggled with injuries and made just 76 appearances in four seasons at Real before leaving in the summer.“After 16 years and more than 700 matches played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer.“During my career I was lucky to meet great managers, coaches and team-mates – thank you to everyone for these great times, I will miss you all.
“I also want to thank the clubs I have played for: LOSC, Chelsea and Real Madrid; and thank the RBFA for my Belgian selection. “A special thank you to my family, my friends, my advisers and the people who have been close to me in good times and bad. “Finally, a huge thank you to you, my fans, who have followed me for all these years and for your encouragement everywhere I have played.See you off the field soon my friends.”
