LAFC defender Maxime Chanot today announced his retirement from professional football. Chanot ends his distinguished career across Europe and MLS. The 35 year-old Chanot spent nine seasons playing for NYCFC, he played in 37 games across all competitions throughout 2024-2025 with LAFC.
“Since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a professional footballer,” Chanot said. “I chased that dream with passion and determination. Nothing came easy, but I am proud that I never gave up. For 19 years, I fought every single day, I pushed my limits and got back up after every fall. I have had the immense honor and privilege of playing for great clubs around the world, representing my country and living a career full of unforgettable moments. Despite all my efforts over the past few months to return to the pitch, my head injury forces me to step away from the game I love. While I had hoped for a different ending, I trust in God’s plan and leave the game with a peaceful heart filled with gratitude for everything I have been blessed to experience in my career.”
On the international level, Chanot earned more than 71 caps with the Luxembourg national team, while also serving as a captain.
