VALENCIA, Spain (AP) -Santiago Canizares is likely to retire after Valencia coach Ronald Koeman told the 38-year-old goalkeeper he would never play for the club again.

"The other day I said that I was 99 percent sure that I wanted to retire at Valencia and it's most probable that my last jersey worn will be Valencia's since that's what the club has decided,'' Canizares said Thursday.

Whey. Dat frigid and frig up.

The former Real Madrid and Celta Vigo goalkeeper, who is in his 10th season with Valencia, last played in the team's 0-0 Champions League draw at Chelsea on Dec. 11. Canizares, who played 46 times for Spain, said Koeman sat him down Tuesday - his birthday - and told him that he was "going to count on others, and nothing else.''

"He thought that I should speak with my representatives to reach an agreement about rescinding my contract, that he wasn't going to give me any explanations and that he didn't feel like discussing it,'' he said.

Koeman has informed Canizares, captain David Albelda and midfielder Miguel Angel Angulo that they were all surplus. Albelda and Angulo have been regulars at Valencia since 1996.

THat is part of the game. When you hot you the player can make demands. When you cold, the club will dump you.
