Lloris won the 2018 World Cup and was captain of the squad that lost to Argentina in the final in Qatar last month.
The 36-year-old goalkeeper told L바카라Equipe newspaper he will focus on his Tottenham club career in the English Premier League.
바카라I want to continue to perform, to live this sport as I have always done, and maybe this decision will give me more physical freshness with my club,바카라 Lloris said.
바카라In the next four or five months, with Tottenham, I want to live strong things, to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League, to do something strong in the Champions League, in the FA Cup too.바카라
France coach Didier Deschamps paid tribute to 바카라a great servant of the French team바카라 and a 바카라remarkable human being바카라 who decided to retire 바카라at the top of his game.바카라
바카라He was captain when I became coach in 2012, I kept the armband for him and I have never regretted it,바카라 Deschamps said in a statement relayed by the French Football Federation.
Lloris made his national debut in 2008 in a friendly against Uruguay.
바카라To have been the goalkeeper of the French team for 14 and a half seasons is strong, but it is also mentally exhausting,바카라 Lloris said. 바카라And I hope that giving myself some time will allow me to continue to play at the highest level for several years.바카라
