Chester, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Union forward Veljko Paunovic has
retired due to "family reasons," ending a career that started in 1994.
Paunovic, 34, joined the Union last June and had three goals and three assists
in 16 starts. He also appeared in a playoff match for the Union.
"I've been so many places around the world and I have never felt as happy as I
have been here," Paunovic said. "It is with great sadness that I announce my
retirement from soccer due to family reasons."
The former Serbia and Montenegro international played in over 400 matches, and
scored 86 goals. He enjoyed club stops in top flights in Spain and Germany.
