'MY BEST YEARS'
My time at this fantastic club will always rank among the best of my career."
"I never envisioned winning so many trophies when I signed over 15 years ago.
"I will never forget the amazing moments both as a player and as a coach."
After much study and consideration, I have decided that now is the proper moment to quit the club.
"It started to creep in last week.
"I respected the club and the new manager and wanted to make the decision before he came in.
"I think it's good for the club and Ralf."
"I've promised my wife Lisa that I'll spend more time with my family," Carrick said.
However, Rangnick said that he wants the West Ham academy product to stay.
"I had an hour-long private talk with him (Carrick).
"I tried to persuade him to stay, but he had clearly decided weeks earlier that he wanted a vacation after 30 years in football."
"I had to accept that, and I understand his decision."
