Landon Donovan, widely considered the most accomplished player in American soccer history, is coming out of retirement for the second time in three years, this time to join Club Leon in Mexico. Donovan will play for Leon in the Mexican Clausura tournament, although more details on his signing were not provided. He also tweeted Friday about joining Club Leon, saying he was excited to face former U.S. teammate and current C.F. “I loved the city, Leon is an historic and winning team,” Donovan wrote in Spanish. Donovan played in three World Cups: South Korea and Japan 2002, Germany 2006 and South Africa 2010.
