Monterrey’s Aldo De Nigris calls it quit on a great career

Aldo De Nigris, historic Monterrey footballer, has decided to call it quits as a football player. The Monterrey forward was key in getting various league and CONCACAF titles and had a good stint in the national team, especially in the 2011 Gold Cup. The forward actually started his career with hated rival Tigres, but after bouncing with several clubs, went to the club where his brother Antonio de Nigris had shined.

During his time playing in the club, Antonio sadly passed away while playing in Greece in 2009. The death affected him emotionally but also inspired to give one of the best performances in league play and guide Monterrey, along with Humberto Suazo, to their first league title since 2003.
