This is actually quite sad to see so many players having to play way into their twilight of their careers. I am all for players retiring whilst they are still at their top as so many end up tarnishing their careers.

Yes, I agree with you in everything you said, even there are legends who offended themselves and their busy football path and ended their football path with submerged clubs after they were at the top of the football pyramid globally

It's probably more for lower league players but I think some don't know how to transition into a life outside football both mentally and financially

In some ways I agree with below comments from @cryptoandcoffee about players retiring before they reach the twilight of their careers. But I imagine that many players must be so wholly entrenched in the life of a professional sportsman that contemplating anything else is very difficult. Not all players are suited for commentary or coaching.

Who did not have the ability to complete the path towards training or analysis as a work after retirement, there are several areas related to football, including the training of young groups, agent players, administrative in one of the clubs .....

In some cases players hit depression and they don't know how to transition into a life outside professional sports. Unfortunately there are incidents where people take their own lives because they just can't cope without sports.
