Peru's record goalscorer Paolo Guerrero announced his retirement from the national soccer team at the age of 41.
"The national team needs new people, new faces. What people are asking for are new players, so let's give the youngsters a chance," he told reporters on Tuesday.
Guerrero made his national team debut against Bolivia in October 2004.
He is Peru's all-time leading scorer with 40 goals in 125 appearances.
The former Bayern Munich, Hamburg, and Corinthians striker's final game for Peru was the 1-0 loss to Argentina in World Cup qualifying match in November 2024.
Guerrero, who currently plays for Alianza Lima in his homeland, participated at six Copa America tournaments as well as the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
