"This is complete, I’ve completed everything about football both for national team and club football. I'm not playing anymore," Mbachu told Radio Nigeria.
"If I’m selected today, I don't even think I will be selected because I have already made it open that I’m not going to be playing anymore.
"I just want to rest and give the younger ones the chance. I know they will do it because they are already doing it."
The 36-year-old Stella also hinted her desire to engaging into a coaching role as soon as possible.
"I will embark on a coaching course. I hope to go into coaching now that I have retired from the game," she concluded.
