Former Bayern Munich and Croatia forward Ivica Olic has denied that he has officially retired from professional football, despite his comments to the German media on Saturday night.
The 37-year-old appeared to confirm his retirement to Bild earlier this weekend, but the Croatian has revealed that he could yet decide to continue in the professional game if the right offer arrives.
"I know Bild published I am retiring, but that is not true," Olic told Sportske novosti.
"Maybe I have played my last game and maybe not. It is the same as last summer – if I receive an offer that is good for me, I will continue. I am not injured, I feel great and I can play. But if that kind of offer does not come, I don't mind retiring."
Olic started his career with Croatian side Marsonia in 1996, while he also represented the likes of Hertha Berlin, Dinamo Zagreb, CSKA Moscow and Hamburger SV before moving to Bayern in the summer of 2009.
The forward won one Bundesliga title and reached two Champions League finals during his time at the Allianz Arena, but his club career looked to have ended in disappointment after being relegated to the third tier with 1860 Munich last season.
