Timisoara, Romania - Former Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is to quit football at the end of the season.

The 39-year-old VfB Stuttgart keeper told Germany's Sat. 1 television that he was looking forward to a life outside of the game.

In the interview to be broadcast Tuesday ahead of Stuttgart's Champions League play-off at Timisoara, Lehmann said: "Yes, it's enough. It's time to do something else."

Lehmann, who joined Stuttgart from Arsenal before the previous season, signed a one-year extension to his contract before the start of the new campaign.
