Veteran Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini has confirmed his retirement, posting on his social media accounts looking back at his career. The 39-year-old was expected to call time on his career after the MLS Cup final last weekend, and writing on Instagram, Chiellini confirmed the news:
“You have been the most beautiful and intense journey of my life.
“You have been my everything. With you, I have travelled a unique and unforgettable path. But now it is time to start new chapters, face new challenges and write further important and exciting pages of life.”
