"The decision to retire grew during the season," said Hyypia, who will now take up a coaching role at Leverkusen. "It will be an interesting year," Hyypia added. "I must get a coaching licence and then I get the experience of Leverkusen and the national team coaching. "I'm really happy about this. All who know me know I put myself fully into it. It is 100% or nothing." Top man was Sami... pity he's not coming back to melwood as a coach though
