Zlatan Ibrahimovic insisted he was far from finished after signing off his Paris Saint-Germain career with two goals in their 4-2 Coupe de France final victory over Marseille.

The Sweden international took his tally for the club to 156 in 180 appearances with his double strike in the final at the Stade de France.

Ibrahimovic, who turns 35 in October, has yet to announce where his next move will be, but with typical brashness stressed there was still plenty left in the tank.

When I arrived, I promised to take care of everything ... that's what I did," he told Eurosport.

"This group is very special, what we did the last three years is incredible. This club will miss it. I had one of my best seasons - I scored 50 goals [in the season] - I'm still warming up."

Ibrahimovic added on French television: "I'm very happy. It was my last game with this fantastic team, a great group.

Even France's president Francois Hollande had his say on Ibrahimovic's influence on the country.

"This is an outstanding player who has contributed much not only to PSG but also to the Ligue 1," he told French television.

"He gave a special look to this competition. He almost crushed everything in its path.

"He gave a lot to PSG, but PSG has also given him a lot."
