Former Premier League striker Saido Berahino has retired from playing at 33 to focus on coaching Burundi’s national team. The decision marks a new chapter after a career that included a prolific spell at West Bromwich Albion, a high-profile move to Stoke City and later spells across several countries.

Berahino scored 20 goals in all competitions for West Brom in 2014-15 and joined Stoke for £12m in January 2017. He made 121 appearances and scored 36 goals for Albion, and later played in Belgium, Cyprus, India and Slovenia; he also scored twice in 23 appearances for Burundi. He had represented England at youth level and been called into the senior squad twice, but never played for the full side.
