Sporting Lisbon says it has reached an agreement with Miguel Angel Angulo to release the former Spain midfielder from his contract.

Angulo joined Lisbon this offseason on a one-year contract but the club said Sunday he has decided to retire from professional football.

The 32-year-old former Valencia player has barely featured for Lisbon this season, starting only three games.

In a statement on its Web site, the Portuguese club wished Angulo "personal and professional success."
