Samuel Eto’o for captain of the
Indomitable Lions has signed for Qatar league side, Qatar Sports Club, just
days after he ended with Turkish side Konyaspor.
The former Barcelona, Inter Milan and
Chelsea moves to Quatar as gears the country prepares to host the 2022 World
Cup.
The four-time African player of the year
will join former colleagues in Qatar, including ex-Barcelona teammate Xavi
Hernandez, who plays for Al Sadd, and Wesley Sneijder who was at Inter with
Eto’o.
In 2009, Eto’o won the Champions League
with Barcelona playing alongside Xavi. A year later he won the same trophy with
Inter in the same team as Sneijder who now plays for Al Gharafa in Quatar.
Earlier on Monday Eto’o said Ligue 1
clubs had contacted him after he announced he was leaving Turkey last week.
The 37-year-old is now in the twilight
of a fabulous career. He enjoyed five hugely successful seasons with Barcelona
from 2004 to 2009, before helping Jose Mourinho’s Inter team to win the treble
of Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia titles in his first season in
Italy.
He then had brief stints at Chelsea and
Everton in the Premier League.
Eto’o also scored 56 times for Cameroon
Indomitable Lions in 118 appearances and has won two African Cup of Nations
with Cameroon.
