Veteran Argentina great Carlos Tevez announced on Friday he was quitting Boca Juniors and would no longer play football in his homeland, but stopped short of officially retiring. The former Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus forward lost his adoptive father Segundo Tevez in February after he contracted Covid-19 at age 58. When asked if he could find a new club abroad, Tevez merely replied he didn't know what he would do next. Boca president Jorge Ameal seemed unconvinced he would never see the "Apache" in a Boca shirt again. He played in two World Cups and was part of the Argentine under-23 team that won Olympic gold in 2004.
