Watford keeper Heurelho Gomes will be retiring from football after tomorrow’s FA Cup final against Manchester City to become a pastor, The Daily Mail reports.

The keeper, who is still unsure whether he will make it to the starting line-up, says that he got a call from God.

“I got a call from God and this is becoming more strong in my heart,” he told the newspaper. “God will tell me where I need to go and do it, probably in Brazil because I want to be home again, but I also want to be around the world doing it. I want to help people.
